This remarkable residence, meticulously crafted with a harmonious fusion of bespoke interior design and original period details, offers an exceptional living experience that effortlessly balances modern sophistication with a warm, inviting family atmosphere.

Upon entering The Cottage, Marwood you are immediately greeted by the exquisite attention to detail that defines every inch of this home. Thoughtfully renovated and maintained to the highest standard by its devoted owners of over 48 years, this property exudes character, with original features such as exposed timber beams, rustic stone walls, and a captivating wood-burning stove. These elements seamlessly combine with tasteful, modern enhancements to create an atmosphere of refined countryside living.

Spanning a deceptively generous floor plan, The Cottage, Marwood offers an abundance of space perfectly suited for both entertaining and the demands of contemporary family life. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, the heart of the home, is a masterclass in design. Bespoke cabinetry provides ample storage, including a spacious larder cabinet and a striking central island that serves as both a functional workspace and a focal point for gathering. Integrated appliances and a beautifully crafted oiled fire ray burner add to the kitchen’s allure, while the composite countertops offer a durable yet stylish preparation area. A cozy corner bench comfortably seats six, making it an ideal spot for family meals or casual conversations.

The kitchen seamlessly extends into a stunning conservatory, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the expansive garden. This space is bathed in natural light, creating a serene environment for morning coffee or an evening retreat. Beyond the conservatory, the garden unfolds as a private oasis, perfect for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the countryside.

The lower lounge of The Cottage Marwood is a haven of relaxation. This intimate space is perfect for cozy winter evenings or leisurely afternoon naps, offering a snug retreat that feels miles away from the everyday hustle.

The ground floor also features a convenient shower room, ideally located for freshening up after a day spent in the garden or workshop. The adjoining large garage and workshop area provide ample space for hobbies, storage, or even the potential for further development.

Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find four beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, boasting generous proportions, an en-suite bathroom, and built-in storage, all complemented by far-reaching vistas of the landscape and nearby private tennis courts.

The remaining bedrooms are equally impressive, each thoughtfully designed to maximize space and natural light. A spacious family bathroom, situated between the second and third bedrooms, features luxurious finishes and provides an ideal layout for families.

The Cottage Marwood is not just a home; it is a testament to the perfect blend of modern living and historic charm. With its breathtaking interiors, stunning gardens, and unparalleled location, this property is a rare gem that offers a lifestyle of comfort, elegance, and serenity. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this extraordinary country retreat has to offer. Don’t miss the opportunity to make The Cottage Marwood your forever home.

The Gardens and Outside Space

Marwood is renowned for its breathtaking Marwood Gardens, celebrated as some of the most beautiful in the region. Yet, the garden within The Cottage Marwood is a worthy rival, offering an equally exquisite countryside retreat. This private sanctuary invites you to bask in the sunlight, savoring morning coffee in the serene ambiance of your own outdoor haven.

The garden is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a top patio area that is perfect for hosting unforgettable summer barbecues with family and friends. This enchanting space is a true haven for wildlife, attracting a diverse array of species—birds with vibrant plumage, playful critters, and delicate insects—creating a living tapestry of nature’s wonders. The garden boasts an impressive variety of plants, ensuring that it remains a vibrant and captivating space throughout the year.

At the pinnacle of the garden lies a secluded retreat, the top garden house, nestled within the tranquil woodland area. This charming spot is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle, offering a quiet refuge to unwind and connect with nature. Additionally, the property features a greenhouse and fruit cages, perfect for those with a green thumb, as well as a delightful summer house that provides yet another idyllic escape.

The garden gracefully wraps around the property, leading to a quaint pathway along the side, offering enchanting views at every turn. The upper area of the garden features gates that could be easily converted into additional gated parking, enhancing both convenience and security. This outdoor space is truly a gem, offering endless possibilities for enjoyment and leisure.

At the front of The Cottage Marwood, a large workshop and garage provide ample space for projects and storage, complete with a convenient WC and potential utility area. This versatile space complements the home perfectly, making The Cottage Marwood not only a stunning residence but a functional and adaptable one as well.
