Property description

A four bedroom thatched detached cottage incorporating a potential self contained annexe, with two outbuildings, a carport and shed, a side garden and open countryside views to the front and rear.

The property has 2,300 sq. ft of versatile accommodation over two floors and the potential annexe on the ground floor would be suitable for multigenerational families or as a guest wing. The entrance hall has cloaks storage and leads into a dual aspect dining room with a bay window, stairs to the first floor and exposed wooden flooring which continues into the kitchen and sitting room. The kitchen has a door to a garden room, and steps up to the nearly 27 ft. dual aspect sitting room which has a bay window to the rear and a feature inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove. An inner hall gives access to a further bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen/sitting room with stairs up to a mezzanine bedroom. These rooms could be used as an annexe if required. The dining room stairs lead to a landing with access to two bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom which has steps to a 22 ft. dressing room with access to two interlinked store rooms.

Kitchen and Garden Room

The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted Shaker style units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a butler sink. There is a Smeg fridge and a range style cooker. The adjoining garden room is triple aspect with French doors leading out to a paved terrace with space for tables and chairs for al fresco entertaining.

Outside

There are two entrances to the property, one accessed via a five bar gate to a brick driveway providing parking, the other via double metal gates which provide access to the summerhouse which is used as a bar, the triple carport and a workshop. The south easterly facing garden is at the side and is principally lawned with borders and mature trees, and a paved entertaining area. There are open countryside views at the front and rear.
