Property description

An extended late 18th century three/four bedroom detached cottage with landscaped gardens, a double carport with an adjoining workshop, and open countryside and woodland views.

Pheasant Cottage dates from circa 1769 and was extended around 20 years ago adding a contemporary solid oak framed open plan family/dining room with a feature Lutron lighting system, a part vaulted ceiling and views over the garden from three sides. The property retains original features including stone floors, exposed timbers with part vaulted ceilings in parts, and an open fireplace in the sitting room. There are also solid wood, iron latch internal doors throughout. The study/bedroom four has a vaulted ceiling and access to the garden, while the kitchen/breakfast room has planning permission for an extension. There is also a utility room and a cloakroom. On the first floor, the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

This room has a door to the garden, a stone floor, recessed LED ceiling lights, and contemporary wood style cupboards and drawer units with granite worktops and upstands and under counter lights. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, electric oven and wine fridge. There is also a Rayburn cooker powering the hot water and heating system, a breakfast island seating two, a Franke instant boiling water tap and a Grohe Blue water filter system.

Outside Highlights

The house is accessed via electric gates opening to a gravel driveway and is screened by hedging to the front. The gardens have been professionally landscaped by the current owners and include a lawn, raised planted beds, and a raised decked sun terrace overlooking a feature pond and rockery. There is a further, paved, terrace and a workshop and double carport with power connected and storage above. There is also a compost, log and bin store area.
