Property description
A simply stunning Grade II listed family home, ideally located within a short walk of the town centre and enjoying magnificent grounds approaching 1/3 of an acre.Situated within a short walk of the historic and picturesque town centre, Lashlake Cottage offers the perfect setting to enjoy town centre living, yet within substantial and well manicured gardens, with a double garage and off street parking. This truly magnificent Grade II listed property originally dates back in parts to the 17c and a substantial contemporary extension works in perfect harmony with the many original features in the cottage. The current owners have lovingly restored the property, including a complete re-thatch of the original roof in combed wheat and further planning permission has in the past been obtained to further extend this wonderful property. On entering Lashlake Cottage a generous entrance hall provides access to the extension, opening to the impressive modern double height kitchen/breakfast room and family room. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cream fronted units with granite work surfaces and forms the hub of the house. A full height 'cathedral' glazed window overlooks the stunning grounds. Further access from the kitchen opens to the original part of the property with a formal dining room and sitting room, both rooms have high ceilings with beams and a restored fireplace to the sitting room has a recently installed wood burning stove. The first floor living space features a vaulted master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate family shower room. Outside, Lashlake Cottage is approached via a 'No-through' ancient bridleway where large timber gates open into a substantial area of off street parking with a double garage. The beautifully manicured gardens encompass the property and have been recently landscaped with copious amounts of interesting tress and shrubs. The garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and a generous terrace accessed directly from the kitchen offers the perfect position to relax and entertain during the summer
