A delightful cottage with large living accommodation, offering superbly appointed and versatile rooms with plenty of character, along with a beautifully designed garden with home office, and off-road parking.

This beautifully refurbished and extended 'Ashton' cottage sits in an enviable position within the village of Polebrook. Built of local limestone and sitting beneath a Norfolk reed thatch, this wonderful home was formerly part of the Ashton Estate, that surrounds the village.

The house has been greatly improved and stylishly updated, in a sympathetic way, so that a discerning buyer can appreciate the original character that these fine homes have to offer, coupled with the benefits of modern fittings, services, and living spaces suitable for life today.

The accommodation is set over two floors and offers a degree of versatility in how the rooms can be utilised, including the option to live on the ground floor, if required.

The front door opens to the hall. The living room, with oak floor, is at the front of the house and has a large, stone mullioned window over-looking the front garden. The fireplace is the focal point and an original cupboard is set to one side.

A door leads into the kitchen which has been extended with a large dining area, creating a great hub to the home, with ample space for cooking and entertaining. The kitchen area is fisted with a bespoke range of wall and base units with quartz work-surfaces and inset Belfast sink. The range cooker has a concealed extractor above. Integrated appliances include a washer / dryer, a dishwasher and a fridge / freezer.
A breakfast bar divides the kitchen area from the dining area, which is a wonderful addition, with exposed stone walling, skylights and French doors opening to the garden.

The ground floor bedroom suite is set into the former stone barn, which is now integrated with the cottage. This delightful room has oak flooring and a latched door and could equally serve as a second sitting room or formal dining room. Adjacent is a well-appointed en suite shower room / WC. Stairs rise from the bedroom to good-sized attic study.

The first floor of the cottage is reached via stairs from the hall. There are two double bedrooms, each with attractive stone mullioned windows. The main bedroom has built-in storage.

The shower room is a superb size, with a large, walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.

Swallowtail is set behind a neat front garden, retailed by a stone wall and with a path leading to the front door.

The rear garden is relatively low maintenance, with paved paths, raised beds and a large patio, capturing the afternoon and evening sunshine. A quality, 6 man hot tub is set to one corner.

Steps rise to a superb, Crane garden building, which is lovely and light with double doors to the front and has windows to the sides. it is highly insulated, has a reinforced floor and has down-lighters and multiple power points. It is currently used as a pottery studio, but could make a superb home office or gym.

A gated path leads from the garden to the car parking yard, where Swallowtail Cottage has two allocated spaces, registered on the title.
