Description
Elder Cottage is believed to date from the 19th century and is built of a timber frame, rendered under slate roofs. In more recent sympathetically extended and enhanced the property, retaining many period features whilst offering a peaceful village life. The property affords flexible living space, effectively two properties in one, over two floors.
The ground floor has a dining room, with large wood burning stove, a light and bright sun room/sitting room one with bi-fold doors and wood burning stove. The bespoke wooden kitchen has a double range cooker with herringbone tiled splash back, induction hob, wine fridge and aurora worktops. The snug/sitting room two, lies in the extended part of the property with bi-fold doors to the rear and a door to the front drive. Off the snug is the sitting room with bay window and eco fire, which could also be used as bedroom four. There is also a secondary kitchen and shower room.
The first floor is reached via two separate staircases. The original part of the house provides a beamed double bedroom with views of the pond . There is also a further double bedroom, family bathroom fitted with Italian marble and a Jacuzzi bath and a study. The principal suite is in the extension and has a seating area, en suite shower room and gives access to the decked sun terrace. The property further benefits from a generous courtyard garden, off street parking for three cars and a delightful sun terrace at the rear with utility and storage beneath.
