PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Furzemoor Cottage is a picture perfect thatched cottage, sympathetically restored retaining many original features, including oak latch doors and stunning beamed rooms.  The property was re-thatched just 2 years ago and over the years has been extended, with the current owners adding a wonderful garden room/bedroom 4 ensuite with large bi-fold doors opening onto its own terrace facing west, for stunning sunsets. The majority of the windows have been replaced with wooden double glazed units. There is a separate dining room and then room flows into the sitting room.  The sitting room has a door leading to a front porch for direct garden access and it has a large Inglenook fireplace with wood burner.  The room is dual aspect and vaulted to the far end.  A door then takes you through into the study and next to this in the garden room/bedroom 4 with ensuite shower room.  The garden room has wall to wall bi-fold door for an uninterrupted breathtaking view across the fields and down towards Goring.  As it is west facing, the sunsets are glorious and a terrace comes directly off the room to extend the seating opportunity.  Upstairs, the main bedroom is to the further end of the landing and has a walk in wardrobe, then stairs down to its ensuite shower room.  There are 2 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.  The landing area has access to a airing cupboard plus storage cupboard and there are 3 lofts for further storage.

Located in a quiet rural hamlet off a country lane, a wooden five bar gate leads onto the driveway to Furzemoor Cottage, with the double garage straight ahead.  Behind the garage is a large shed for garden storage.  A path then leads in-between planted borders and then an archway with honeysuckle and rose surrounding takes you through into the beautifully manicured lawned garden, interspersed with mature shrubs, planted borders flowering throughout the year and trees, including a large Magnolia and Silver birch.  The property borders open fields and the views and absolutely spectacular.  There are several seating areas to sit and enjoy in total tranquillity, including a wonderful terrace on the side which captures the stunning sunsets across the Chilterns.   The gardens are an asset to this lovely cottage and compliment it perfectly.
