Description
The Grove Cottage is a beautiful thatched cottage set within a stunning elevated position affording far reaching views over the River Eden and The High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located on the edge of this highly sought after village, this impressive family home was built in 2001 in the style of a medieval hall house and provides versatile and well-presented accommodation. There are plenty of character features which include vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, wide exposed chestnut flooring, oak paneling and an inglenook fireplace. Of particular note are the wonderful gardens and grounds which provide a high degree of privacy and feature an impressive 60 ft long decked terrace where far reaching views can be enjoyed. In total the plot amounts to about 2.5 acres.
The principal reception rooms are connected and provide excellent areas for both formal and family living. They comprise a spacious drawing room with charming inglenook fireplace, a double aspect sitting room with contemporary styled LPG stove, and a double aspect dining room.
The stylish kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with a range of wall and base cupboards with Corian work surfaces extending to provide a breakfast bar and limestone flooring. There is a three oven Total Control electric Aga, an integral warming drawer, dishwasher and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer.
A cloakroom completes this floor.
Arranged over the first floor are five double bedrooms, three have built-in cupboards and three have vaulted ceilings.
There are two well-appointed bathrooms and a further shower room.
Please refer to the floorplans for the full layout and extent of the accommodation.
The house is approached over a sweeping gravel drive which culminates in a generous parking area for a number of cars and leads to the detached outbuilding providing garaging and storage.
The attractive and established gardens around the house are laid to lawn with brick and flagstone paths, well stocked stone edged beds and enclosed at the front by established mixed hedging. To the rear of the house is an impressive decked terrace area with a glass balustrade providing a wonderful area for al fresco entertaining and to enjoy the views over the Eden and countryside beyond.
The river frontage grounds are set to grass with mown pathways, interspersed with mature deciduous trees together with an apple orchard to the far boundary. In total the plot amounts to about 2.5 acres.
