Description
Set within the hamlet of Lilford, along a private lane, this handsome house was built at the turn of the 20th Century as one of six similar cottages belonging to the prestigious Lilford estate. Lord Lilford liked to show his wealth by creating elegant and stylish homes, not only for himself, but also for his more senior staff. As such, this beautiful cottage has high ceilings, mullioned windows and ashlar chimneys.
The current owners have retained much of the original character of the house, including the fireplaces and the rich, parquet flooring, whilst cleverly extending and modernising the accommodation, to create a family home of surprising proportions.
The accommodation, set over two floors and with two staircases, now has a great degree of flexibility, including the option to create a self-contained annex or home office, if required.
The front door opens to the hall which has the sitting room to one side. This elegant room has a large, south-facing bay window to the front, affording views over the field opposite. The parquet floor is original, as is the picture rail. The fireplace with wood-burning stove makes a cosy focal point and has beautifully crafted cupboards and shelving to either side.
The dining room is further down the hall, and it too has a parquet floor and a stove within the fireplace. The large, mullioned window faces west and overlooks the garden.
The kitchen is adjacent and fitted with a range of oak wall and base units with worksurfaces, inset sink, electric oven and hob.
The utility cum cloakroom provides space for the usual appliances and the WC.
The back hall has a formal feel and could be the main entrance to the house if desired, with access to the original accommodation and to the huge family room to the rear. This addition is sufficiently large to be a live-in dining kitchen cum sitting room. Indeed, plumbing and electrics are concealed and ready for such alterations, should this be required by the new owner. As it stands, it makes a fine family room, with fireplace and stove. Doors open to the garden.
The original stairs lead from the front hall to the landing, which serves three bedrooms, two of which are superb double rooms with built-in storage and the original fireplaces. They have field or garden views. The third bedroom is a smaller, double room with a fireplace. The family bathroom serves these three bedrooms.
At the back of the house, accessed from the rear hall, a staircase leads to a study landing and fabulous bedroom with a Juliet balcony giving great views over the fields. Adjacent, is a well-appointed shower room / WC.
The house sits behind a high hedge giving privacy to the front garden. A hand-gate opens to the path leading to the front door. The drive to the side provides parking for two cars and leads on to the garage, which is of cavity wall construction and is 1 ½ car width allowing plenty of space for storage or work benches. Power and light are connected, and a staircase leads to a storeroom above, which could easily convert to an office or games rooms. Gated access leads through to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with shrub beds running along two boundaries, in front of high fencing, which offer great privacy. A shingled patio runs beside the house and captures the afternoon and evening sunshine. Raised beds are set behind the house for vegetable production. There is a lovely view over the rear boundary, across the fields to the woodland, beyond.
