A conveniently located family home with annexe and home office

Description

Norney Wood Cottage is a stunning six bedroom country house, nestled in a serene woodland setting that showcases exceptional period features, including tile hung elevations and crittall windows. The current owners have extended the property, resulting in a spectacular country house offering over 3,500 sq ft of living space.

The entrance hall features a cloakroom and leads to a central hallway adorned with intricate tiled flooring. The family room is cosy and inviting with bay windows, wood panelling, and a natural wood floor. It can serve as a dining room or a second reception space. Separated from the family room, the generously sized double aspect sitting room impresses with bay windows and an attractive brick fireplace housing a log burner. The study, complete with a fireplace, high curved cornicing, and recessed lighting, offers views of the mature woodland-style garden. A boot room grants easy access from both the front of the property and the kitchen. Overlooking the picturesque gardens, the highly specified kitchen breakfast room delights with two sets of tri-fold doors that open onto a large patio with hot tub. The Shaker kitchen boasts top-of-the-line features, including a Neff 6 ring induction hob, underfloor heating, limestone floors, a spacious oak-topped island, and granite work surfaces. Zoned lighting, a Belfast sink, two dishwashers and fridges, two full-size eye level ovens, and a large AGA, complemented by Fired Earth tiles, create a warm and charming central hub for the home. Adjacent to the kitchen, a pantry/flower room takes care of practical needs, with storage space, wine racks, and a Butler sink.

On the first floor, the master bedroom offers a range of built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a corner bath, walk-in shower, sink, and bidet. Three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this living space. There is also a large loft space which could be converted to further accommodation (STPP). To the side of the property, there are two bedrooms featuring a double aspect sitting room, a second kitchen/laundry room and a bathroom. This private area can serve as independent living for family members, au pairs or be rented separately. If desired, there's the option to integrate these rooms back into the main house by opening up the adjoining wall.

An outside converted barn, provides a spacious home office and a studio/cinema space with underfloor heating, Lutron lighting, and independent phone/WIFI facilities. There are also three useful sheds (one with power) and a greenhouse.

At the front of the property there is an in and out gravel driveway, while the rear is adorned with an assortment of mature trees spanning the beautiful grounds expanding to over an acre.
