The Property
Opening the front door we are welcomed into the Entrance Hall of this deceptively spacious cottage, this generous space enjoys a practical tiled floor and offers access to the Kitchen Breakfast Room, Shower Room and Drawing Room whilst stairs rise from here to the first floor. To the left of the hallway we step into the Kitchen Breakfast Room. This excellent working space enjoys a view over the front gardens, the Kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units that incorporate the fridge, oven and hob that is set below the extractor fan. Space is made for a freezer at the end of the kitchen units whilst ample room is left for breakfast table and chairs. A door way from the Kitchen opens to the formal Dining Room making these two spaces perfect when entertaining, as we step into the room our eye is immediately drawn to the open fire that sits between the two feature arch topped windows that look into the Living Room. Understairs cupboard provide excellent storage space and door set beside a feature glazed display cabinet welcomes us into the Drawing Room. Stepping into this grand room we find a door back into the hallway to our right and a door to the left opens to the Living Room. The Drawing Room enjoys a dual aspect that fills the room with light, to the rear a window over looks the rear gardens and field beyond whilst to the front aspect patio doors open to the delightful front gardens. An open fireplace provides a focal point to this excellent entertaining space and adjacent we find access to the ground floor Bedroom. The ground floor Bedroom is a fantastic double room that again enjoys the view to the front and rear aspects. Within the room we find the airing/storage cupboard and the En-Suite Bathroom that is fitted with a contemporary white three piece suite comprising of a bath, wash basin and w/c, making this an excellent Master Bed Room or indeed a comfortable self contained guest area. Heading back through the Drawing Room a glazed door leads us into the newest addition to the house, the Living Room. This excellently designed reception space is of a semi-circular shape which enjoys a vaulted ceiling. A skylight window joins the eye level windows and french doors in making this an exceptional light and airy space. The french doors open to a part cover pergola that provides the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet that the rear garden offers.
Back in the Entrance Hall we pass the Shower Room and climb the stairs to the top step landing. Doors lead from here to both of the first floor Double Bedrooms. Both rooms enjoy the vaulted ceiling of the original cottage that proudly show off the exposed timbers. Skylight windows to both rooms fill this space with light whilst the original cottage windows remain in place reminding us of the character of this charming home.
Outside
Accessed over a private driveway we find the gated entrance that leads to the off road parking area and double garage. A stone path leads us from here through the stunning cottage gardens and past the well to the front door of the property. The front gardens are filled with mature trees and shrubs whilst low lying beds find their place amongst the lawned gardens and offer a variety of perennial flowers bringing colour all year round to this attractive private space. The stone path continues to the side of the property passing the patio doors from the Drawing Room and leading us to the rear gardens. A small working area provides space for the greenhouse, garden shed and gives personal access to the Garage whilst the path continues to the rear garden. The rear garden is again alive with colour. French doors from the Living Room open to a patio area which is set below a timber pergola from where we enjoy the view of the wildlife pond.
