Description
Originally three cottages the property was transformed in the 1970's into the delightful family home it is today. The eldest cottage (far right on the front picture) dates back to the 1600's and the remainder of the cottages were built early in the 19th century. There are many charming period features throughout including parquet flooring in many rooms on the ground floor, an open fireplace complete with the original bread oven in the sitting room and exposed beams completing the country cottage feel. Unusually for a cottage of the period ceiling heights are good and there is a feeling of ample natural light and space throughout the home and particularly in all of the bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room has plenty of space for a table and chairs and has an oil-fired Aga, there are views out into the picturesque rear garden. There are also a good size pantry and a drying room, separately, off the entrance hallway. There is a large dining room with recessed alcoves, a sitting room, and a drawing room featuring an open fireplace, they all have parquet flooring. Above the drawing room, accessed by its own entrance and staircase is a self-contained bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette that would be an ideal annexe or Airbnb. The first floor in the main cottage is accessed via a central staircase and has three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside the gardens are entirely to the rear of the cottage and accessed via a gravel driveway to the side that leads up to the double garage. The gardens are laid to lawn with mature shrubs and bushes at the borders and overlooks the water meadows and the countryside beyond, the picturesque garden is completed by a weeping willow.
