A CHARACTERFUL VICTORIAN HOME

Ash Cottage is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached Victorian home, combining period character with stylish, carefully maintained interiors. The house offers approximately 1,702 sq ft of accommodation, with a further 728 sq ft across the measured garages and outbuildings. Handsome stone elevations, red-brick detailing and a tiled roof create an appealing first impression, while private gardens and an exceptional garage and workshop complex make this a particularly distinctive country home.

A WARM WELCOME

A covered entrance opens into a generous reception hall, immediately introducing the character and quality found throughout the house. Natural timber doors, traditional ironmongery and warm wooden finishes sit comfortably alongside the elegant contemporary decoration. The reception hall provides useful flexibility as a reading area, workspace or place to welcome guests, while a conveniently positioned ground-floor cloakroom completes this practical and inviting entrance.

ROOM TO RELAX

The impressive sitting room extends to over 22 feet and provides a wonderful setting for family life and entertaining. Its triple-aspect arrangement fills the room with natural light, while timber flooring and decorative cornicing bring warmth and character. A wood-burning stove with a substantial timber mantel creates an inviting focal point, particularly during the colder months. The generous dimensions allow for several distinct seating areas without compromising the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

COOK AND DINE

Extending to approximately 21 feet, the kitchen is fitted with cream Shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and a traditional range cooker. A separate integrated oven and generous storage ensure the room is as practical as it is characterful, while an adjoining utility room keeps household tasks conveniently out of sight. The separate dining room provides an elegant setting for everyday meals and celebrations, with wooden flooring and ample space for a full-size dining table.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS

Upstairs are four comfortable double bedrooms, offering excellent space for family, guests or home working. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with a dual outlook across the gardens and its own en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower. The three additional bedrooms are well proportioned and are served by a family bathroom. Both bathrooms combine traditional styling with neutral tiling, panelled detailing and contemporary fittings, complementing the character of the house.

PRIVATE GARDENS

The house sits within private, mature grounds of approximately one third of an acre. The principally south-facing garden wraps around the property, with broad lawns, established trees and planted boundaries creating a wonderfully secluded setting. There is ample space for outdoor dining, children’s play and quiet seating areas, while the outlook towards neighbouring greenery enhances the feeling of being immersed in the countryside. Beyond the garages is a further natural area incorporating a pond.

GARAGE AND WORKSHOP COMPLEX

The substantial outbuildings are an outstanding feature of Ash Cottage. A double garage and large workshop building sit either side of a generous covered carport, providing exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies and storage. One building is insulated and offers exciting versatility as a workshop, gym or home office, subject to requirements, while both benefit from power and lighting. A separate store provides further practical space for garden equipment, bicycles and outdoor belongings.

PARKING AND APPROACH

A private driveway winds through the grounds and provides extensive off-road parking in addition to the garages and covered carport. The leafy approach and mature planting give the property a pleasing sense of privacy, while the attractive stone and brick elevations sit naturally within their surroundings. Altogether, the combination of generous parking, exceptional ancillary buildings and established gardens creates a home with both considerable character and unusual practicality.
