A charming country cottage with beautiful gardens and equestrian facilities, extending to about 1.72 acres.

Description

Trotwood Cottage is a beautifully presented family home set within approximately 1.7 acres, enjoying a delightful rural position and offering an attractive lifestyle opportunity with excellent equestrian facilities. Approached via timber double gates and a private gravel driveway, the property benefits from ample parking and turning space, including room for a horsebox or trailer.

The house has been thoughtfully enhanced and carefully maintained by the current owners, creating a welcoming family home that combines character and practicality for modern day, family living.

The accommodation includes a welcoming reception hall, leading through to an impressive kitchen/dining room that was extended in 2017. This light-filled space forms the heart of the home and is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry complemented by solid wood worktops, a central island with breakfast bar seating and a dining area centred around a wood-burning stove.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the lounge featuring a second wood-burning stove and enjoying attractive views across the gardens and adjoining land. French doors open directly onto the terrace, providing an excellent connection between the house and gardens.

A well-appointed utility room provides additional storage and practical space for country living, with external access ideally suited to muddy boots, dogs and outdoor equipment, together with a separate WC.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys lovely views over the surrounding countryside and benefits from a double-aspect dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, a fourth single bedroom (currently utilised as a dressing room) and a family bathroom.

Outside
The outside space is a particular feature of Trotwood Cottage, offering an ideal environment for those seeking a rural lifestyle with the convenience of keeping horses at home. The land is thoughtfully arranged and allows owners to enjoy views across their paddocks directly from the house.

The equestrian facilities are well established and include a stable block, comprising four 11m x 11m stables, a store room and an adjoining open-fronted hay and log store. A rubber-surfaced manège and paddock complete the equestrian offering, creating an excellent setup for equestrian enthusiasts with excellent hacking and a bridle path approximately 300m away. Equally, the land and outbuildings will appeal to purchasers seeking space for family recreation and outdoor pursuits.

The gardens have been beautifully cultivated in a traditional cottage-garden style, with colourful herbaceous borders, mature shrubs and an exceptional collection of David Austin roses. Beyond the manège lies a productive orchard together with a greenhouse and six raised beds, providing excellent opportunities for a kitchen or cut flower garden.
