DESCRIPTION
.

Description  
Tucked away in an idyllic rural setting with its own long private driveway, this beautifully extended 17th-century cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Set in over five acres of stunning gardens and woodland, complete with a tranquil pond/lake, this enchanting property provides a peaceful retreat while boasting an array of original character features.

Recently renovated and tastefully decorated that feels like it's out of a Country and Town House magazine, the cottage retains its period charm with exposed beams, log burner fireplaces, and traditional detailing throughout. The spacious ground floor offers a wealth of versatile living space, including a cozy snug with wood burner, a characterful lounge also with a wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, and a charming country-style kitchen. A separate study (music room) provides a quiet space for work or reading, while the utility room and downstairs shower room add practicality. Upstairs, the master suite is a luxurious haven, beautifully wallpapered featuring a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms all served by a stylish family bathroom.

Beyond and surrounding the cottage, the expansive gardens, two streams, mature woodland, and serene pond create a private and picturesque environment. The outside space has been created over 30 years with a range of trees and plants that keep you surprised whilst walking around the ground. Many trees planted by previous owners are labelled, with scenic streams criss-crossing the grounds. There is a large barn which functions as workshop and garden storage, and a double garage that presents opportunity for conversion into guest accommodation or Air B&B (subject to planning). As the property is not listed, there is potential to extend the house to suit any new owner's lifestyle, with additional potential income generation from the orchard area (both also of course subject to planning).
