Description
General - A charming circa 17th century part thatched cottage set in idyllic gardens and grounds extending to 1.5 acres. Axe and Compass Cottage has a fascinating history and was formerly a tavern which was replaced in the 1930's by the current Axe and Compass (Pestos). This is the first time the cottage has been on the market in nearly 50 years, during which time it has been a much loved family home. There are plenty of period features in the cottage including beamed ceilings, original doors and a collection of memorabilia dating back to its earlier life as a tavern. There are views over the gardens and countryside from all the principal rooms.
The accommodation briefly includes a wonderful living kitchen, two delightful reception rooms, five bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, together with three shower rooms and a bathroom. Outside there are beautiful gardens and a paddock, together with a large double garage with adjoining single garage and two stables.
There is a ground source heat pump which significantly reduces the running costs and gives a lovely ambient temperature year round. It should also be noted that the cottage is not listed, which gives greater flexibility should somebody wish to make changes.
Location - The Axe and Compass Cottage is located in Wolvey Heath just outside the main village. Wolvey has a vibrant community with an unusually extensive range of amenities including a doctors surgery, a general post office, three pubs and a primary school.
