Description
Set behind electric wrought iron gates, this timber framed, part-thatched cottage, is Grade II listed; with original parts dating back to the 16th century. A gravel driveway - lined with trees - sweeps past the house leading to a detached double garage with ample room for parking. The landscaped front garden is well-manicured, and a stone pathway winds its way to the front door. This extended home offers four reception rooms and four double bedrooms and a wealth of period charm across the two floors with original features including exposed timbers, brickwork and an inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam.
The bespoke, country-style kitchen boasts both granite and solid wood worktops, solid wood units, a double Butler sink and space for a dual fuel range oven set within a brick chimney alcove. The part-vaulted ceiling and slate flooring provide the room with additional character charm and the room is further complemented by a walk-in larder and separate utility room. Double doors lead from the kitchen onto the secluded terrace, making this an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining - with the uninterrupted field views adding to the feeling of peace and tranquillity. This country home offers two staircases, at either end of the property - one leading to the two inter-connecting, double bedrooms in the original part of the house, the other leading to the remaining rooms. Set within a beautifully landscaped plot, backing onto fields with far-reaching views, the garden offers a courtyard area with ornamental pond, terrace with covered barbeque area and lawns. Mature trees and shrubs complete these stunning grounds.
