Property description
Believed to have been the former coach house/stables to the rectory, Mews Cottage is a late 1800s/early 1900s stone and knapped flint detached village family home.
The property was, until the late 1960s, a derelict building which was extensively renovated and later extended to provide the current level of accommodation. There is an elegant sitting room with a fine Inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel burning stove, a fantastic farmhouse-style kitchen (completely re-modelled and refitted in 2012) with a range of concealed appliances and an impressive Rangemaster Elan cooker. The ground floor also offers a cloakroom, a family room off the kitchen as well as a dedicated dining room with doors from both kitchen and entrance hall. With the exception of the sitting room, terracotta tiling has been laid throughout the whole of the ground floor.
The first floor offers three generous bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities, and a separate suite which has been, until recently, utilised as bed and breakfast/letting accommodation and is referred to as The Annexe, shown on the floor plan shaded yellow.
The Annexe offers a double bedroom, bathroom and separate kitchen/diner/sitting area which would successfully adapt for use as a three room master suite. Presently there is a double door access from the first floor landing into The Annexe and garden access from the existing kitchen/sitting area.
Mews Cottage sits off the entrance to Church Furlong which is a private Close. To the front is an attractive mature garden defined by a boxed hedge with areas of lawn, flower beds and shrubbery. Access at the side leads through to a lovely walled garden with an expanse of paved courtyard patio. There is an area of lawn bordered by a number of mature shrubs and flower beds from which steps lead up to a fully enclosed rear access with parking and a pedestrian access to what is currently the Annexe. In addition there are external stores and an open fronted, covered seating/dining area. There is also an additional area of car parking separate from the property (located opposite the front of the cottage) which is wholly within the ownership of the property and provides parking for up to three further vehicles.
