Part of our Signature collection, Birds View Cottage is a detached family home occupying a stunning plot measuring in excess of half an acre with two annexes. It is located in a fantastic position and accessed via an impressive tree-lined driveway.

Birds View Cottage dates back to 1850 and is situated within a stunning rural position with beautiful landscaped gardens, sweeping tree-lined driveway and parking for numerous cars. In addition to generous accommodation there are two annexes which have their own shower rooms both overlooking the beautiful gardens and terraces.

The property has an open-plan L-shaped kitchen/dining/family room as well as a separate sitting room, laundry room and garden room. There are two timber-framed annexes, one with two bedrooms and a shower room and the other with an open-plan sitting/bedroom with shower room and double doors onto it's own patio. Both annexes have been previously used as successful Air B&Bs.

The property opens into a boot room with good storage and door to inner hall which has doors off to the sitting room and the kitchen/dining/family room.

The sitting room has windows to all sides and double doors out to the garden. The L-shaped kitchen/dining/family room has hand-built wooden cupboards and work surfaces, butler sink, built-in antique butcher's block and an electric Aga. There are windows to the front and rear and in the dining area there is a wood burner stove. A door leads to the laundry room and a glass door leads to the garden room which overlooks the garden from all sides. The laundry room overlooks the front, has stairs to the first floor and a door to the lobby which provides access to the garden and a cloakroom with WC and basin.

The landing has a window to the rear, velux and doors off to the three good size bedrooms. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and the family bathroom which comprises bath, basin, WC and shower. Birds View Cottage is approached by a stunning tree-lined road which leads to a five-bar gate that opens into an extensive parking area which provides parking and turning space for many vehicles. There is a second five-bar gate that leads out to the additional driveway to the front of the property exiting onto the lane. The initial parking area has steps down to a stunning landscaped rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with a number of mature borders, trees and shrubs.

To the immediate rear of the property is an excellent patio area and a further raised deck beyond the garden room.

The two annexes, one situated adjacent to the property and the other with its own garden area, are timber-framed.
