Property description
A delightful grade II listed cottage and stable conversion, believed to date back to the early 17th century, tucked away in a secluded courtyard positioned in the centre of town, with ample off street parking.
The current Landlords have lovingly restored their home over a number of years, uncovering many original features and adding every modern convenience, bringing a cherished home into the 20th century.
Large automated gates open onto the drive leading to a parking area (for up to 3 cars), a selection of outbuildings and a doorway onto a stylish garden and courtyard.
Set within the garden is an alarmed, self-contained gym or office, so that the garden can be enjoyed whilst in use. A gardener is included together with a watering system, so the garden can be enjoyed without the maintenance.
The accommodation to the main house is arranged on three levels. The front door welcomes you into an entrance hall, turning left into a well-equipped kitchen, leading to a large dining room and beyond an oak framed garden room. Both of these latter rooms overlook and have direct access to the courtyard and garden. A guest cloakroom is hidden discretely off the garden room.
Back into the entrance hall and turning right leads into the older part of the house and a large reception room with fireplace and newly installed wood-burning stove with a small room off the reception room provides a small study area with ample shelving for filing or CD/DVD’s.
A double and an imaginative single bedroom (both with built-in wardrobes) together with the principal bathroom, again off the entrance hall, complete the accommodation to the ground floor.
Up a flight of stairs brings you into the master bedroom, with built in wardrobes and a full en-suite bathroom with separate shower.
Down a flight of stairs and hidden in the basement is a wine cellar and utility room with large airing cupboard, storage and pantry.
Modern conveniences include top of the range machines and under-floor heating.
Beautifully restored and offered in immaculate order, rarely does a house of this quality find itself on the rental market. As such, the Landlords would prefer no pets or children.
Available unfurnished from mid July, when the Landlords vacate to live in France for a number of years.
