Property description
A quest for light, proportion and peace lead the owners to convert a modest property to this stunning, four bedroom cottage style home of elegant sophistication.
Standing in approximately one acre gardens The Gables defines style; the considered use of handmade brick and the incorporation of a vaulted ceiling to the breakfast kitchen and Juliet balcony to the master suite sustain the cottage ideal whilst the insistence on wide windows and the highest quality throughout ensure that the home is suffused with a welcoming soft light that emphasizes proportions.
The broad reception hall with its spindle balustrade stair opens to the centrally situated 20'8 garden room which links both the formal gardens and the principle accommodation. The dual aspect lounge with distinctive light dressed stone fireplace is an elegant yet intimate room suited to relaxed entertaining and the 13'11 dining room is ideal for more formal family celebrations. The magnificent maple appointed breakfast kitchen with its high vaulted ceiling, central island bar and French doors to the garden forms a formal social space. The practicality of modern life is well catered for by the well designed utility and the 14'8 forward facing study-ideal for the home worker.
Refined style is further evident to the first floor: the master suite with its western facing Juliet balcony enjoys modern en-suite facilities and there is an additional guest suite with private shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a stunning family bathroom with contemporary metalised slate feature tiling.
The broad gravelled reception area, detached double garage and additional storage space provide ample parking for those inevitable guests and the inclusion of traditional plants, pergola rose walk and neat lawns beautifully enhance the cottage feel and contrasts with the 'secret' wooded walkway with which links to both a productive vegetable plot and grassed orchard- a wonderful area for children's imagination to run wild. A useful 17' timber clad workshop completes the property.
