Description
Enviably located in this peaceful pocket of the village, Maces Cottage is a charming Grade II listed part thatched cottage dating back to the C18.
Of particular note is the expansive kitchen/breakfast room which is a great entertaining space featuring a fabulous, vaulted ceiling, terracotta tile flooring and French doors leading into the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units and enjoys a lovely farmhouse feel, with doors leading through to a handy utility cupboard and separate larder.
The main entrance hall is positioned
in the middle of the property and is an incredibly flexible space and could double up a dining room, snug or study. The spacious yet cosy sitting room leads off the hall and is centred around the Inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel burning stove and overlooks the garden.
Heading upstairs, all rooms are accessed off the landing. Both bedrooms are doubles, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and enjoying an abundance of charm and character including restored floorboards throughout and up the stairs. Both bedrooms enjoy a glorious outlook to the garden and the bedrooms are served by the newly renovated shower room.
Outside
Maces Cottage is situated in the centre of Bishopstone along a footpath (The City). Accessed through a wooden gate, a brick paved path leads up through the garden to the front door. The tranquil location and beautiful garden are what makes this a truly standout property.
The garden enjoys great privacy and has been meticulously cared for. It is mainly laid to lawn with wildflower borders and a wide array of mature trees and shrubs. The large paved terrace, to the front of the property, offers the ideal spot for outdoor entertaining.
There is a greenhouse, garden workshop and summerhouse (both with light and power) which is currently being utilised as a home office.
