Grade II listed detached cottage overlooking Ayot Green.
Description
Ayot Green is a delightful village set within a conservation area and retains great charm with a good number of the buildings being listed. Saffrons was originally three cottages owned by the Brockett Estate and was substantially refurbished in the late 1970's and is presented in excellent decorative order. The house occupies a plot of about half an acre directly overlooking the green and offers scope for further extension subject to obtaining the necessary approvals.
Although full of period charm, the property is very practically laid out for modern living. A central reception hall gives access to all principal rooms and has a seating area positioned around a feature brick fireplace with inset multi-fuel burning stove. The charming triple aspect sitting room has access to the rear patio and garden and has attractive views across the front and rear garden. The room also benefits from a wide brick built inglenook fireplace with inset open fire. There is also a staircase from here up to the principal bedroom. To the other side of the hall, the dual aspect dining room has a door to the rear onto the garden. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of cabinets with integrated ceramic hob and double ovens. Additionally there is a separate utility room providing access onto the garden and a cloakroom with WC and hand wash basin.
On the first floor, the galleried landing is flooded in natural light. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views to the front and rear, has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The remaining two double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The house sits on a substantial plot and has a lawned front garden behind a picket fence and a block paved driveway giving access to a large detached garage which has been split to now provide parking for one car at the front and a garden room to the rear. There is also a large loft above the garage and garden room.
The rear garden is a real feature of the house with a lovely flagstone patio area for entertaining and both formal and informal wild meadow lawns with mature hedges and specimen trees for privacy and interest. There is also a potting shed.
