Description - **GUIDE PRICE £650,000 - £700,000** Approached via your private, hedge-lined driveway, which sweeps you away from the road and delivers you to the doorstep of Meadow Cottage, a fine example of a family home which has undergone a tremendous transformation over the past 5 years.

Believed to date back to the 18th Century, Meadow Cottage excellently amalgamates two different periods, courtesy of a well-thought out transformation of this un-listed thatched cottage by the current owners, creating a haven for each family member amongst this mixed-space.

Entering the cottage through the front porch you will find a cosy snug to your left with inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel burner, providing a wonderful space of relaxation, complete with large oak beams. To the right, a ground floor bedroom/home office, again with oak beams, inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, plus a newly added en-suite, Continue down the hall, enjoying the natural filled light that bursts in thanks to the cleverly designed extension ahead, with a skylight on approach and dual aspect slide-and-stack doors, providing breath-taking views over the neighbouring meadow. You now enter the new period, and courtesy of this expansive extension, on the left you will find the principle bedroom. Complete with 4-piece en-suite, and french-doors providing wonderful countryside views.
Stepping back in to the inner hallway and you've now arrived in the captivating extension, which offers a very large area of open-plan living. An area perfect for hosting family and friends. Here you will find your fitted kitchen, with a breakfast bar/island on wheels, utility room/WC, and main your living space with slide-and-stack doors enabling unrivalled views over the neighbouring meadow.

Step outside in to the enclosed grounds of around 0.66 acres, and the current owners have once again shown their attention to detail, providing an enviable garden complete with a standalone bar, ground-level-trampoline, and a summerhouse which was intended to be an external sauna, which the current owners have advised us they would happily complete for the new buyers (by separate negotiation). Furthermore, there is also a double width garage to the front (with single garage door) which features an inspection pit, and a collection of brick and timber outbuildings on your approach to the cottage, alongside a treehouse.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms which are formed in the older part of the building, both featuring exposed timber, and both with the modern additions of en-suites.

The vendors inform us that the porch thatch has been re-ridged this summer and a full new thatch was added only 10 years ago to the property. The property successfully underwent a 5 year thatch inspection this summer.
