INTRODUCTION

Park Cottage dates back to 1880 when it was built by Sir Andrew Fairburn as the principal estate accommodation for his estate manager and family. The estate house, along with the carriage/coach houses, was converted in 2015 into a private and prestigious development.

Driving into the gated community you are immediately struck by the character of the property and the unique features. The current vendor has created a modern, functional family home whilst keeping the original character of the property alive with the traditional coving, skirting, Victorian front garden, and encaustic Victorian style flooring in the hallway with stained glass front door. Throughout the property is under floor heating, Hillary’s blinds and shutters and stylish décor.

The bespoke kitchen by Hancock and Reed is the perfect entertaining space and family area with log burning stove and built in appliances to include fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The traditional style of the house has been echoed in the kitchen with the grey natural stone flooring that flows into the dining area and the large exposed feature chimney breast. The utility room offers additional storage for everyday family needs and houses the washing machine and dryer.

Two reception rooms are located to the front of the property which over look the front Victorian style garden and open fields. With walnut flooring and traditional fireplace, the snug is perfect for cosy nights in over the winter months and also ideal as an additional entertaining space for guests as it can be utilised as an additional dining space.

Continuing with the walnut flooring, high ceilings and deep skirting boards, the main reception room has traditional style panelling surrounding the chimney breast housing a log burning stove. The room is large and bright with light flooding in through the front bay window and the French doors opening out onto the rear, south facing garden.
In addition, bedroom five is located on the ground floor and can be utilised as a bedroom or a home gym. The room is fully plumbed for a kitchenette and with a staircase and library/study located above, this space could be perfect for additional accommodation for a family member.

The hand carved original staircase in the main hallway leads to an open landing with office area. The master bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower room is a tranquil, quiet room overlooking open fields. In addition there are three further double bedrooms (one with ensuite shower room) and the house bathroom.

Outside

To the outside of the property, the vendor has fully landscaped the front and rear garden. The front garden is landscaped creatively in a Victorian style where as the rear garden is cool and contemporary with a blend of Yorkshire stone and modern tiling to create an exquisite entertaining area. A raised patio seating area with glass surround, two electric Markilux canopies and outside mood lighting along with a top of the range external kitchen and expansive private views across meadowland create the perfect opportunity to make lasting memories with family and friends . Located to the rear is a fully stocked herb garden perfect for adding extra flavour to your cooking. For those rainy nights, an Atrium has been added to the property that sits between the main house and the garden. An additional space has been added to bring the outside in with glass folding doors and houses an additional BBQ.

The landscaped garden has been well maintained with full irrigation along the borders and plated mature trees acting as a natural border.

The 1.68 acre paddock sits adjacent to the rear garden and there are 3 additional fields available to purchase by separate negotiation.
