Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Situated in an enviable rural setting on the edge of this well-regarded village, Charity Cottage is a beautifully presented and rather unique extended period cottage, surprisingly ‘unlisted’ and built of traditional construction underneath a peg-tiled roofline.
The house extends to around 2,000ft2 and arranged over two floors, providing versatile living space graced with many notable features that are cleverly blended with contemporary nuances and modern elements of comfort.
The property comprises large reception hall with oak-flooring, access to a cloak/shower room. The sitting room has views over the garden, with exposed timbers and inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.
The kitchen/breakfast is a outstanding feature of the house, being extended to incorporate a bespoke handmade painted shaker kitchen by Lavenham Joinery, with integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, freestanding Rangemaster range cooker with extractor over. There are tiled floors throughout and windows and glazed doors to the south leading out to the garden terrace.
Further on the ground floor are two double bedrooms, both enjoying a double aspect with doors to the gardens.
The first floor forms part of the original cottage, with a good-sized landing area, leading to two double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceiling heights and exposed timbers and views over the gardens, and both being served a traditional-style bathroom with free-standing bath and views over fields to the east.
Outside
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, approached from the quiet village lane onto a gravelled parking area, leading to a double garden/workshop, extending to around 1,000ft2, with power and light connected, and ripe for those looking for workshop or games room.
The grounds themselves are largely laid to grass, with a variety of well-stocked flower beds, mature trees and shrubs, together with brick-built summer house, greenhouse, vegetable gardens and tennis court. Adjoining the property, enjoying the southerly orientation, there is a large sandstone terrace with pergola.
