DESCRIPTION
Nestled within the picturesque village of Collingbourne Ducis, this delightful cottage offers a peaceful and serene escape surrounded by breathtaking countryside. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises a stunning living room with exposed beams and impressive inglenook fireplace and can still see evidence of the original bread oven. You enter the lovely cottage kitchen through stable doors where you are met with a window that looks out over the water garden and patio area. There is also a modern family bathroom. The first floor offers two double bedrooms. The first of which boasts built-in wardrobe storage and an aspect towards the bourn to the front of the property. The second bedroom features the prodigious brick chimney and is currently laid out as a twin bedroom but will accommodate a double bed.

OUTSIDE
The jewel in the crown of this historic property is the sensational and separated gardens at the rear. From the back door you arrive on a sunny terrace with an Eastern inspired water garden and a wildlife pond, with huge numbers of frogs and newts, and a huge water Lilly. This area has two separate seating areas to take in the tranquility on offer here. From the water garden, follow the path up towards the themed fairy garden to a beautiful and well-used summer house (a favourite with the grandchildren!). On the next tier is a large orchard with a variety of fruit trees on offer. Beyond the orchard is a wild garden bursting with colourful wildflowers in the spring and there is also space up here to keep chickens. Finally, beyond the wild garden there are some steps up to the property’s border beyond the hedge line, where there are wonderful views to be admired.
