Description: The Cottage is a delightful and well presented period cottage of 2,726sq.ft dating from 1750 with Victorian and later additions that benefits from being unlisted and from having a substantial outbuilding of 1,193sq.ft, which the current owner has operated her business from, but could easily be adapted to provide a self-contained annexe, if required, with a store area providing a further 350sq.ft.
The Cottage is set in an elevated semi-rural position within approximately 0.58 acres of gardens and grounds in quiet position on the edge of the village and presents pretty brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. There are period features throughout, including some lovely exposed timbers, period windows, fireplaces and latch doors, and the cottage benefits from lots of natural light and a rural outlook from many of the rooms.
The accommodation on the ground floor includes an enclosed entrance porch, an airy hall with Travertine flooring leading to a triple aspect sitting room with an attractive French marble fireplace fitted with a wood burner and extending to over 20ft, a similar-sized double aspect dining room with oak flooring and an open fireplace with marble inset and hearth, staircase to the first floor and door to the older part of the cottage with a vaulted corridor with lovely oak framed period windows and exposed timbers leading to a spacious, double aspect kitchen/ breakfast room, which extends to over 23ft and has a range of solid wood wall and base units with granite work surfaces, double ceramic sink, gas Aga (blue), an attractive brick fireplace, a pantry and doors to the garden, utility room and boot room/cloakroom. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, and on the second floor a further double bedroom, study area and useful loft storage area.
Outside, the property is approached off the lane to a tarmac driveaway providing parking for several cars. The annexe is accessed through a side gate and path to the rear where a door leads to a reception hall with doors to a shower room and large store room, which offers options for a range of uses (further accommodation, yoga studio, etc). On the first floor is a further reception area with part vaulted ceiling and feature half-gable window overlooking the garden, a kitchen and a door leading to an impressive room with a vaulted ceiling, four velux windows, large gable window with door to a Juliette balcony, which enjoys views over a field.
The gardens, which extend to approximately 0.58 acres are a real feature of the property with areas of terracing, an expansive lawn, a vegetable garden with greenhouse and an abundance of mature shrubs, plants and trees.
