Description
This beautifully renovated cottage dates to around the 1750s and was later extended over two stories to the rear to provide generous accommodation measuring 1638.1 sqft/152.2 sqm. With potential for equestrian use, the property has access to the rear garden along a gravel laid driveway and which in turn leads up to ample parking and a triple garage/cart lodge.
Internally, the property to the ground floor benefits from three reception rooms which include a sitting room with stairs leading up to bedroom three, a dining room with ingle nook fireplace/ wood burning stove and a staircase leading up to the rest of the first floor. There is further access into the property through the boot room/rear lobby with a separate WC adjoining. Completing the ground floor is a substantial family kitchen decorated in a farmhouse style with oak work tops, copious amounts of storage at both base level and eye level, as well as a kitchen island with seating for five. There are two French doors leading out to the kitchen onto the garden and patio, with a beautiful area perfect for enjoying your morning coffee.
To the first floor are four bedrooms which includes an enviable master bedroom suite with wardrobes built into the eaves and a en-suite bathroom with a rolled top bath, pedestal sink basin, low level WC and radiator. Serving the remaining three bedrooms is a further family bathroom with a panelled bath with shower above, low level WC and pedestal sink unit.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot of 1.21 acres and backs onto nearby farmland to the rear. To the far end of the garden is a small timber viewing platform which offer a tranquil seating area across the neighbouring fields. The rear garden is cleverly split into various parts with a small courtyard off the kitchen as well as a substantial patio and a mainly grass laid garden which incorporates a delightful timber constructed home office with power and lighting. Towards the rear of the plot is a wild meadow, with a pathway mowed through. Previous owners have used this space as an equestrian facility with a stable still occupying the plot. Throughout the plot are a vast array of well-established trees, flowers and shrubs and is well suited to any keen gardeners.
