Full Property Description

An absolute dream property for those looking to escape to the country. An early 17th century farmhouse, this quintessential English cottage has been completely refurbished over the last year, combining respect for its historical quality together with all the comforts of modern day living.

The refurbish includes : 

re-rendering with traditional lime plaster to the front of the home; 

smart/Wi-Fi heating installation;

A complete, water reed, roof re-thatch to last generations; 

Loft insulation;

New windows to the ground floor and refurbishment of the remaining original period:

Windows with uniquely designed, hand-forged window fittings;

Complete redecoration both inside and out as well as a lovingly landscaped all-season interest garden and a bathroom and kitchen that will blow your mind!

On entering the cottage via the porch, you will be struck by how light and airy this home feels, real attention to detail and authenticity has been paid by the current owner.

In the dining room there is a rare original historical recessed fireplace with stove and bread oven (both are non-functional, listed structural features), moving through to the sitting room, you will realise the sheer size of the property before your eyes are drawn to the inglenook fireplace with working solid fuel burner set back within!

There's also an impressive, double-height ceiling kitchen with tasteful, rustic touches where delicious meals can be prepared using the herbs and fruits growing outside in the garden.

Upstairs, the chocolate-box cottage has two good sized bedrooms and an elegant bathroom that surpasses all expectations. The same attention to detail as the rest of the property was exhibited with the addition of a roll top, claw and ball foot bathtub and a separate shower cubicle too!

Outside the vendor has placed a shingle bed, rock planter gabions and feature lighting. To the side of the cottage via five bar gates, there is off road parking.

Finally, this home has the most amazing secluded patio garden with its own shed and area to enjoy a glass of wine on those long summer nights.
