An immaculately presented four bedroom home with lovely garden, garaging and views.



Description

Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Frogs Hill Cottage is a very pretty detached, mainly Victorian house with later additions, set amidst lovely gardens of about 0.28 of acre. The property is well located along a private lane shared with only six other properties. To the front, wonderful far reaching views can be enjoyed across open countryside whilst abutting the pretty gardens is neighbouring farmland.

The present owners have re-modelled, incorporated a modern extension and refurbished Frogs Hill Cottage to an excellent standard and it now provides beautifully presented accommodation with a contemporary twist and great views from nearly every room.

On the ground floor there are four reception rooms; a triple aspect sitting room with wood burning stove, a family room/snug with plantation-style shutters and living flame fire, a reading room and a dining room which is open plan with the kitchen. There is also a versatile study/home office.

The kitchen is a wonderful space with French doors opening from the dining area to the terrace and views to the north and south aspects. Equipped with a range of modern cupboards, central island and Corian work surfaces, there are various appliances including a Smeg electric oven, an induction hob, two integral fridges and a freezer.

Stairs lead from the hall to the lovely light filled landing. There are four attractive double bedrooms, two with en suite bath/shower rooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and doors to a Juliette balcony with views over the garden and beyond.

Frogs Hill Cottage is approached via timber gates that open to a gravel driveway providing parking for several cars and access to a detached single garage with loft storage and an open bay garage with bicycle store.

Attractive gardens lie to three sides of the property and comprise level lawns with mixed hedging and post and rail fencing to the perimeter, an array of seasonal shrubs and lovely paved terraces, ideal for al fresco entertaining. Fruit trees include plum, apple and pear and there is a bespoke chicken house with wooden store.
