The property benefits from excellent privacy, down a private lane, with mature shrubs and trees, yet is within easy walking distance of the village amenities such as the Earl of Chesterfield public house. A beautiful brook runs along the boundary of the property which is perfect for paddle boarding or watching the local wildlife such as ducks and swans pass by.
Ground Floor - The front door opens into a lovely kitchen, fitted with wonderful, handcrafted base and wall cabinetry with granite worktops, that provide excellent storage whilst housing the fitted dishwasher. The cabinetry surrounds an American style fridge/freezer, and beautiful Rangemaster oven with 5-ring hob and extractor fan over. A centre island with solid wood countertop provides further excellent food preparation space as well as breakfast bar seating. Adding to the character of this lovely space, with ceiling beams, and a farmhouse sink located under a perfect picture window overlooking the front garden is a beautiful Louis 14th fireplace thoughtfully incorporated by the current owners.
A door to the side of the fridge provides access to a very large pantry store with shelving, that stays very cool and therefore is perfect for storing products such as jams which can be made from the fruit baring trees in the garden. Opposite the pantry door is a large airing cupboard that houses the water tank and a door that opens onto the stairs to the first floor.
Heading towards the rear of the property, steps rise from the kitchen into a fantastic, vaulted dining/ sitting room with picture windows and a patio door that opens onto the rear garden decking, perfectly framing the incredible views overlooking the garden and countryside to the rear. Slate tile flooring extends from the kitchen through to the dining room, with underfloor heating in the kitchen area.
To the right-hand side of the dining room is a very large laundry room and store, with fitted cabinetry, sink and hanging airers. To the left is the family bathroom which is fitted with a lovely roll top bathtub with shower over, a wash hand basin and WC.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is the formal living room that benefits from triple aspect views to the front, rear through patio doors, and side with a picture window that looks past the chicken coop and vegetable patch, across the fields to the village church in the distance. Country cottage charm and period features are further evident in this well-proportioned room with beautiful beams to the ceiling and an exposed brick fireplace with oak mantel piece that sits over a solid fuel burning stove. Whilst being a stunning focal point to the room, the stove also boasts incredible functionality, heating the home and the properties water during the cooler months, whilst there is an immersion heater to heat water when the heating is not needed. There is a large storage cupboard to the side of the fireplace.
First Floor - Stairs rise to the first-floor landing that benefits from a generous storage cupboard whilst providing access to the properties four bedrooms.
Originally two cottages, the first floor demonstrates a mirrored arrangement with two double bedrooms to the front, and two single bedrooms to the rear that benefit from fabulous views over the brook and rolling fields. The second bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room fitted with shower, wash hand basin and WC.
The Grounds - Set within approximately 0.6 of an acre, the properties gardens are truly beautiful to behold. Wrapping around the property, there are extensive lawns adorned with mature planting to the borders, a kitchen garden with raspberries, gooseberries and vegetable plots, a brick chicken coop with resident chickens, and a mature orchard showcasing apple, quince, plum, damson and pear trees.
The garden runs down to the brook at the bottom, perfect for enjoying the local wildlife or partaking in some paddleboarding. Taking full advantage of the views is a raised deck directly to the rear of the house with outdoor kitchen area and covered seating as well as the covered tiki bar/ seating and the summer house down near brook.
The property also benefits from excellent parking, with hard standing providing space for at least 4 vehicles in front of the oversized single garage with workshop space and the car port with car charging point. Attached to the garage is a gardeners outdoor loo and coal store.
