Entry is gained via a gated pretty cottage style front garden which has been carefully planted with a paved path leading to an Oak timber framed porch. The cottage’s front door leads directly into an attractive sitting room with exposed beams creating a rustic and homely ambience centred around a fireplace with a modern wood burner. The heart of the home is arguably the kitchen, a voluminous room with exposed oak frame bringing wonderful height and volume arranged in a practical yet sociable layout for entertaining, paired with full-height bi-folding doors leading to a patio area. A further reception room currently used as a study, although its proportions and excellent quality of light would make for a brilliant dining room or snug. A well appointed utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
A bespoke flight of stairs with exposed woodwork leads to the first floor where there are four generous sized bedrooms and contemporary style shower room.
In addition to the main house, a one bedroom self-contained annexe lies independently on one side of the terrace, where a simple palette of natural materials adds a subtle craft to the interior. Ascending the stairs, a mezzanine provides a living space with bedroom, shower room and kitchen/dining room set below.
Great attention has been paid to the planning and planting of the surrounding gardens. Embracing a year-round interest, the grounds are anchored by a series of specimen trees, roses and mature shrubs. There is a paved patio area ideal for sociable alfresco entertaining or quiet reflective moments to enjoy a coffee and crossword. Complete with a connected Victorian style greenhouse with heating bars and electric sockets, this is the perfect set-up for any keen gardener. A private driveway offers a generous provision of parking. Back to listing
