4 bedroom house

Hidden away off a private drive and set in south facing grounds and gardens that amount to almost three quarters of an acre (STMS) Thistlewood Cottage is an extremely well presented and substantial detached home.

On the ground floor there is an abundance of open plan living, dining and entertaining space. On entering the property you are naturally drawn into the living space which, with its south facing aspect, is flooded with natural light, and with reclaimed timbers and a vaulted central atrium the room has a sense of space as well as the feeling of being in a barn conversion. The kitchen is fully open plan to the dining and living area and is a very sociable space allowing conversations to flow while food is being prepared. At the other end of the room the large inglenook fireplace with herringbone brickwork makes for a very cosy area to relax and unwind. In addition to these open spaces there also a snug and TV room, which could alternatively make an excellent home office, as well as a large conservatory room on the southern side, both allowing for further flexible living space.

To the rear of the living space there are two large double bedrooms that share an equally substantial 'Jack and Jill' en-suite shower room, whilst on the upper floor there are a further two vaulted double bedrooms that share a shower room off the upper landing. In addition, there is a large boarded attic space which may lend itself for conversion, subject to the relevant consents.

French doors from both the living area and the conservatory lead out to the south facing garden which is mostly laid to lawn with a large patioed area directly off the main house that is perfectly positioned to enjoy sunshine all day long. The principal garden is well proportioned for the size of the house but slip through the gate in the south east corner and you are through to what can only be described as a paddock. Enclosed by mature hedging on all sides and completely south facing, the uses for this space are endless: a mini football pitch, a tennis court, a swimming pool, chickens, alpacas or simply just a wild garden. This much private outside space in a coastal village is an extremely rare find and provides a real opportunity.

Thistlewood Cottage has been a much loved home from home for the current owners as well as a very popular and successful holiday let, and could continue as both or with that extra outside space it would also make an idyllic main home.
