A VERY ATTRACTIVE COTTAGE NESTLED ON THE EDGE OF PITSFORD RESERVOIR IN DELIGHTFUL MATURE GROUNDS

The launch of West Lodge Cottage to the open market offers potential purchasers the opportunity to acquire a real lifestyle property edging and overlooking Pitsford Reservoir. Its idyllic location allows access to a host of leisure pursuits on offer from the reservoir, whether walking, cycling, fishing, sailing or just enjoying nature.

This attractive ironstone cottage with its mullioned windows with octagonal panes, fronts onto Grange Lane and is set in mature plot of just under half an acre. The cottage benefits from delightful mature grounds to the rear that offer total privacy and the ideal environment to entertain and unwind from the modern stresses of life. A viewing will be essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer.

A part glazed front door opens into the reception hall overlooking the drive with stairs rising to the first floor. The two principal reception rooms lie on the front of the cottage with interconnecting doors. The sitting room enjoys a double aspect with bay window and window seat. The open fireplace with decorative timber surround and mantlepiece has pride of place with recessed display shelving and cupboards to either side along with bespoke bookcases. The family room/study also enjoys a double aspect with recessed display cupboard and in the corner is a door revealing understairs storage cupboard and safe.

The bespoke shaker kitchen has a run of base and eye level units with wooden work surfaces together with double enamel butler sink inset in granite worktop with drainer. Integral appliances include stainless steel Neff oven and grill along with four ring induction hob with extractor hood. A cupboard houses the oil fired central heating boiler and there is a recess to house a small fridge. Adjoining is the dining room which now opens to the conservatory which enjoys wonderful views over the grounds. Recessed cupboards lie either side of the brick fireplace and double doors from the conservatory open onto extensive west facing seating and dining terrace.

Stairs rise to galleried landing which doubles up as a seating/study area. The two double bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes as does the single bedroom which has been repurposed as a home office with built in desk. All three bedrooms are served by fully tiled bathroom and separate shower room. A loft hatch on the landing provides access to the part boarded loft with loft ladder.

OUTSIDE

The cottage benefits from a gravelled drive running along the eastern side of the cottage providing parking for three vehicles and offering access to the double garage with electric up and over door. To the side of the garage are the fitted laundry room with Sheila Maid and gardener’s cloakroom. On the southern gable end of the cottage, steps lead down to the wine cellar.

Lying to the front of the cottage is a formal lawn edged by herbaceous borders. Mature rose and wisteria climb up the front elevation. The rear garden and grounds are a pure delight and enjoy views down to the water’s edge and known locally as Pitsford Creek. The south and west facing paved seating and dining terrace enjoys an elevated position overlooking the grounds and a gravelled path meanders down to the waters edge and into the secret garden with central stone feature. Behind the mature beech hedge is the vegetable garden hosting beds, aluminium greenhouse and timber garden shed.
