A unique country retreat

Description

Built in traditional stone in the grounds of a disused quarry, The Rose House has been lovingly renovated to create a spacious yet cosy country retreat, with all utilities included in the rent this is the perfect weekend home. A separate one bedroom annexe is also available by separate negotiation for those needing additional guest or staff accommodation. Each room has been thoughtfully decorated with a mix of colour, texture and light, behind every door is a new surprise.

The ground floor comprises large dual aspect reception room in a tribal theme with wood burning stove; quirky and functional kitchen with fridge, freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher and a bright and colourful dining room. Additionally there is utility / cloakroom with washing machine and dryer.

The first floor has three double bedrooms, all individually styled with ensuite bath/shower rooms. The principle bedroom is dual aspect with four poster bed and feature crystal bathtub. The second bedroom is more minimalist with sleigh bed and the third, slightly smaller room has a French feeling.

The second floor has a cosy attic bedroom with an antique Indian single bed and separate modern shower room.

Externally there is a large private courtyard, rose and herb gardens offering plenty of space for al-fresco dining and sunny spots for a morning coffee. Driveway parking for up to four cars is accessible by two sets of electric gates. The annexe has a large garden mostly laid to lawn which could be available by separate negotiation.

Please note: there is a small but deep pond (2m) in the courtyard and there is a studio space accessible from the courtyard that is excluded from the tenancy.
