About the Home:
Set in the heart of the idyllic village of Great Wigborough, Drakes Cottage is a truly
unique detached residence that effortlessly marries classic charm with contemporary
sophistication. This beautifully appointed home offers a serene lifestyle within a
private, village setting.

Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed by a bright, versatile reception space,
elegantly designed to flow seamlessly through the heart of the home. Whether used for
entertaining, dining, as a playroom or additional lounge, this flexible space adapts
effortlessly to the changing rhythms of family life.

To the left, a generous living room exudes warmth and character, complete with a
feature wood burner, perfect for cosy winter evenings. French doors open onto the rear
garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for
summer gatherings or peaceful mornings with a coffee and birdsong.

To the right, a dedicated home office provides a calm and private space for remote
working, studying or creative pursuits, away from the main living areas.

At the heart of the home lies a breathtaking, bespoke kitchen, crafted as a true culinary
showpiece. This stunning space features top-of-the-line appliances, including a
professional range cooker, American fridge, built-in Miele coffee machine, and
premium microwave. Custom, hand-carved granite worktops, a double-faced island,
and exceptional craftsmanship elevate the kitchen into something far beyond the
ordinary.

Upstairs, a modern landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms, all filled
with natural light and finished to a high standard.

The opulent family bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary, boasting twin sinks, a jacuzzi
bathtub, and a steam shower with body jets—all encased in rich, slabbed Italian
marble. The master suite continues the theme of luxury, complete with its own private
en-suite, echoing the exquisite materials and design found throughout the home.
Outside, Drakes Cottage is framed by beautifully kept front and rear gardens, enclosed
by mature hedgerow for ultimate privacy. A detached double garage adds secure
parking and ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles ensure practicality is never
compromised, alongside a secluded workshop for garden maintenance equipment.

Offering an exceptional balance of rural tranquillity, refined interiors, and outstanding
amenities, Drakes Cottage is a truly rare opportunity.
