Property description

A Victorian extended five bedroom detached cottage situated at the top of Aspley Heath woods adjacent to Duke of Bedford woodland

The property has a wealth of local history and forms part of the original village of Hogsty End. There is 2.468 sq. ft, of accommodation over two floors. The ground floor has an entrance porch and hallway, a sitting room, a family room, a dining room, a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and a cloakroom. The landing has access to three of the bedrooms, the family bathroom and an area which could be used as a study which leads to the remaining two bedrooms. The dual aspect principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, built-in wardrobes and dressing table, and double doors to a raised deck area with woodland views. The four further bedrooms use the family bathroom which has a five piece suite with bath, separate shower, WC and twin washbasins. Set on a mature plot on Sandy Lane, the cottage has parking for numerous cars.

The garden wraps around the property. The front garden has a paved terrace by the conservatory with an ornamental pond, and a lawned garden with mature shrub borders. The rear garden is terraced into several levels with stone retaining walls and steps. It is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, and various seating areas and is bordered by the trees of the surrounding woodland.
