4 bedroom detached house

The cottage is believed to date back to the 1400s in parts and for a house such as this it is interestingly not listed. The property has been added to sympathetically over the years and kept meticulously by the current owners, with the house itself benefitting from many of the period features you would expect from this era.

Of particular note is the kitchen, which is housed in an extension with sliding doors on two sides and opens onto the terrace and garden beyond. The fitted kitchen is by Neptune Kitchens and benefits from an electric Aga, Neff, Siemens and Smeg appliances and a large central island. This room provides a wonderful entertaining space which seamlessly blends with the outside, perfect during the warmer months.

The remainder of the property offers well proportioned, flexible family accommodation over two floors. There is a sitting room with a log burning stove, a dining room with French doors opening onto the sun terrace and a family room perfect for watching TV. The bedrooms are all double each with views across the gardens or surrounding woodland. The principal bedroom has a double dressing room and another of the bedrooms has an en suite and dressing room.

Outside is a separate barn, which includes a reception room with sliding doors, a kitchen, shower room and an office or bedroom upstairs, which makes for a useful flexible additional living or office space and has its own address. In addition, there is also a double garage and a gym with its own shower and WC.

Gardens and Grounds
The property is entered through electric gates with the gravelled driveway leading to parking for several cars in front of the three-bay garage and barn. The formal gardens to the rear of the property are level and principally laid to lawn with sun terraces, a pretty pond, a wildflower garden, and many matures shrubs and trees. The garden is edged by mature hedging ensuring privacy and seclusion.
