Description
Enjoying a wonderfully rural location, surrounded by open fields, this extended, characterful cottage offers flexible accommodation, enhanced by one acre (STS) of gardens and a further four acres (STS) of equestrian land.
The property is adjacent to the road and approached via a gravel driveway which leads to both the entrance door and the garage.
Once inside this double-fronted cottage, the visitor is greeted by two reception rooms, set either side of a staircase.
The dual aspect sitting room is a charming retreat, away from the main hubbub of a busy household, with an open fire providing additional warmth and ambience during the cooler months.
A second reception room provides those who enjoy formal dining with a dedicated spot in which to entertain family and friends.
Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen is presented in warm wood tones, with granite worktops providing plenty of space for food preparation. A peninsula provides breakfast bar seating and a gentle divide between the kitchen and family area. Here there is plenty of space for a further dining table and / or lounge seating, with a pretty bow window providing views over the garden, towards the paddocks.
A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, three bedrooms and a family bathroom lead off from a central landing.
Outside, to the rear, the garden has largely organic landscaping with swathes of lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs.
Three independent stables, a tack room, rug room and feed shed provide excellent equine accommodation. Two field shelters offer outdoor respite in the paddocks.
