Description

Sandford Cottage is a most impressive and substantial detached period home, offering in excess of 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged as a main residence, a self-contained annexe and an additional barn/studio. Set within mature grounds approaching an acre, the property blends character features with flexible modern-day living, making it ideally suited for families, income generation or multi-generational occupation.

The main house is entered via a characterful entrance hall with exposed stonework, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. To the front lies a generous sitting room centred around an inglenook fireplace with log burner, while the dining room also features period charm and flows through into a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room complete with Aga, Belfast sink and views across the gardens. A utility room provides further practicality, and a supplementary ground floor room offers flexibility as either a fourth bedroom or home office.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys garden views alongside a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the main house accommodation. The adjoining annexe, which can either be entirely self-contained or linked internally, provides its own entrance, kitchen, sitting room and three further bedrooms over two floors, one of which benefits from an en suite. In addition, a detached barn/studio offers further ancillary space, ideal for a gym, workspace or occasional bedroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated driveway leading to ample parking and a detached double garage. The gardens extend beautifully to the rear, predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting, seating areas and a productive vegetable garden, all enjoying a high degree of privacy. Outbuildings include a workshop, greenhouse and storage, further enhancing the property's practicality and appeal.
