Property description
A wonderful high quality period property part wooded 1.3 acre grounds, lawns, pond and ample vegetable/chicken space, on the outskirts of this sought after village with excellent links to the A30.
DESCRIPTION Located on the outskirts of Cheriton Bishop, this attached Grade II listed property forms part of a former Manor House. The entire property was built in 1789 and has evolved over the years yet retains much of the character and proportions of the original build.
Over the past few years, the current owners have completely renovated Venbridge Cottage to an extremely high standard which matches in with the high ceilings and history of this lovely home. Internally, no details have been missed with the sympathetic yet contemporary restoration with flag stone flooring, hidden storage, a beautiful conservatory/garden room with solar glass, providing a year round dining area and opening onto the gardens, as expected is an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom and the further two double bedrooms benefit from views over the gardens and grounds.
The kitchen is also light and well fitted with a large central island (available separately) and central heating, hot water and cooking can be independently operated from the oil fired Rayburn. The quality finishes continue outside with well-maintained lawns, complete with Ha-Ha and a lower paddock with a wildlife pond and a separate entrance to the country lane. The higher area of garden has numerous wood stores and outbuildings plus a large greenhouse and garage and productive raised vegetable beds.
The garden slopes gently to the South and all in the plot extends to approx. 1.3 acres with a copse providing a hidden and shelter chicken coop. Also of note is a detached stone barn which could form further accommodation to the house if required (subject to permissions).
