Description
Corner Cottage is an outstanding Grade II listed timber framed former hall house of substantial proportions, believed to date, in part, from circa 1460 with impressive later additions and glorious accompanying gardens and grounds which have been lovingly nurtured by the current owners.
This fascinating home has been completely restored, extended and refurbished, merging the historic integrity of the medieval period with the luxury and comfort of the 21st century. The restoration and beautiful extension, was undertaken by the same company responsible for the design and construction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, McCurdy & Co Ltd, specialist craftsmen and consultants in the repair and conservation of historic timber buildings.
Attention to detail has been carried through to the inside, with Harrods Interior Designers sourcing beautiful tiles, sanitary ware, bespoke fitted furniture and furnishings, Ideaworks installing lutron lighting systems and a Crestron Home Automation system, all of which complement and enhance the beauty and everyday running of this wonderful family home.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and amounts to in excess of 4,500 sq ft including a generous wine cellar and air conditioned gym.
Attractive reception rooms, all of which enjoy garden views, include a sitting room with fine dias beam and open fireplace, a formal dining room, a versatile bespoke fitted study/home office and a family room.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a lovely room, fitted with a hand painted Chalon kitchen, a three oven LPG gas fired Aga together with Gaggenau and Liebherr integral appliances.
An oak staircase leads to the first floor landing, which in turn divides, leading to a beautiful guest bedroom suite with shower room and decked balcony in the modern portion of the house whilst the original part of the house incorporates three further bedrooms and two bathrooms including the magnificent vaulted principal bedroom suite with luxuriously appointed bathroom, equipped with freestanding bath, separate shower, bespoke fitted cupboards and leather lined drawers.
Gardens, Grounds & Outbuildings
Corner Cottage is approached via electric gates which open to a paved drive to the east of the house. There is a secondary gated access to the southwest of the gardens culminating in a generous area of parking, the garaging and workshop.
The beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds which extend to approximately 1.6 acres screen the house. To the front there are ancient yew trees, laburnum, rose beds and raised herb beds. A path continues around to the remaining gardens planted with many specimen trees including acers, alder, cherry, crab apple, maple and a dove-tree or handkerchief tree. A generous south facing terrace stretches away to lawn and in turn, the heated swimming pool with electric cover, tiled surround and a further large terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A gate leads through to a pretty area of woodland with a path that meanders beside a spring fed pond.
Outbuildings include a detached double garage with adjoining workshop and open sided log store, an Alitex glasshouse and a second greenhouse, a dog kennel, a pool house and pool pump room and a plant room.
