A WONDERFUL NON-LISTED THREE BEDROOM THATCHED COTTAGE WITH COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS

Nestled within a secluded garden and overlooking open paddocks to the rear, Ivy Cottage is a truly unique non-listed three-bedroom thatched home believed to date back around 300 years. Steeped in history and character, the property enjoys an idyllic position along Does Lane, a peaceful no-through road set within the heart of the Dewlands Nature Reserve renowned for its picturesque countryside and woodland walks.

The property has been kept within the same family for generations, Ivy Cottage is now being offered for sale and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home in this sought after and secluded location.

Over recent years, the property has been refurbished and extended, blending modern comfort with traditional charm. Notably, the thatched roof was replaced within the last few years, and an existing outbuilding has been converted into a stylish single-storey extension, now accommodating a stunning kitchen and two luxury bath/shower rooms each beautifully designed in keeping with the cottages period style.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a cosy sitting room featuring exposed ceiling beams and a striking open fireplace. From here, a doorway leads to the Office/Hobbies Room, which benefits from windows to both the front and rear and could equally serve as a versatile additional bedroom.
The kitchen extension offers a delightful mix of character and practicality, with wooden worktops, a comprehensive range of units, tiled flooring, and space for appliances. From here, doors open out to the garden, creating a lovely connection to the outdoors.

The ground floor also includes two beautifully finished bathrooms. The main bathroom features a traditional suite with a freestanding roll-top bath, toilet, hand wash basin and decorative flooring. The shower room adopts a more contemporary aesthetic, complete with a double walk-in shower, Japanese-inspired toilet, and elegant tiling throughout.

Upstairs, a reconfigured layout provides two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, each enjoying far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.

Externally, Ivy Cottage is approached through double pillared gates leading onto a private driveway with off-road parking and a substantial storage area. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, while a pathway continues to the rear, where stunning paddock views complete the serene backdrop.

This property offers a rare blend of historic character and modern living, all within easy reach of village amenities. A viewing is highly recommended.
