"We love to host parties with family and friends, spilling out from the dining room onto the vast and very private outdoor space."
This stunning period cottage has a warm luxurious cottage-feel but with the advantage of modern fittings to include oak-framed double-glazed windows and solid oak doors throughout, with rendered elevations under a thatched and part slate roof. The bright and welcoming ENTRANCE LOBBY also contains a discreet CLOAK/LAUNDRY ROOM with W.C, large wash-hand basin, and worktop with and rather sensibly, a washing machine.
The cottage has a large, welcoming bespoke country KITCHEN BREAKFAST ROOM with travertine stone flooring, granite worktops, Rangemaster™ cooker, Belfast sink, dishwasher and space for a large American-style fridge/freezer, together with plentiful drawer and cupboard space.
Leading from the kitchen is a generous FAMILY ROOM with solid oak flooring, and stunning views overlooking the extensive gardens, and a media wall - perfect for family entertainment. The SITTING ROOM welcomes you with its grand inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner, delightful window seat and characterful oak beams. The bright and spacious DINING ROOM has French doors opening to the garden and enough space for a formal dining table and comfy seating; the current owners often host parties with family and friends, enjoying spilling out to the vast outdoor entertaining space. What a wonderful space for enjoying meals with family and friends and being able to spill out into the garden. Rather usefully, adjacent there is a dedicated OFFICE/STUDY.
The staircase rises to the first-floor landing where the four bedrooms and family bathroom are located. The generous PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has large windows, allowing you to enjoy open rural views and an EN-SUITE with shower, W.C. and wash-hand basin. Rather usefully, there is also a DRESSING ROOM. BEDROOM TWO is situated to the front of the property and is also a generous double room with fitted wardrobes. BEDROOMS THREE AND FOUR are comparable double rooms overlooking the front and rear of the property, respectively and both having built-in cupboards. The contemporary FAMILY BATHROOM with wash-hand basin, W.C. and a bathtub with shower over, perfectly placed for stargazing while relaxing after a long day.
As undeniably impressive as the property is, the extremely generous GARDEN, sitting in just over 0.5 ACRE, is also a considerable attraction. Offering truly uninterrupted views over beautiful fields, the sense of space afforded by the location is quite magical. A wide gravel drive leads to a generous DOUBLE GARAGE with power and lighting and an abundance off-street parking for 12 - 15 vehicles. The ample garden offers plenty of room for a home office/Air B&B chalet (STPP) without impacting on enjoyable outside space.
