In this delightful semi-rural setting Elm Cottage is a character Grade II Listed property, dating back to the late 16th Century when it was originally one property. Offering lots of natural light the property features exposed beams and feature fireplaces with woodburning stoves. Interestingly one unique feature, above the Inglenook fireplace in the main reception, is an original wall painting by artist Stephen Wisdom commissioned by the current owner, depicting a hunting scene in the style of many 17th Century wall paintings. Set well back from the road the property has a sweeping driveway offering parking for around five vehicles and an expanse of lawns and mature trees to the front aspect. A spacious entrance hallway has a balustrade timber staircase with galleried landing and tiled floor. The dual-aspect reception room features an Inglenook fireplace with inset woodburning stove and patio doors to the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room offers lots of space for the whole family with a dining/sitting area with inset stove and fitted kitchen with range of country-style units, feature fireplace with woodburning stove and access into a large utility/boot room, beyond which is a ground floor cloakroom and utility. To the first floor the landing sweeps around the central chimney breasts with access into a principal bedroom offering an en-suite shower room. To the other side of the landing are two further double bedrooms and a further main family bathroom.
Outside the rear garden offers lots of entertaining space, seating areas, lawns, shrubs and trees – the whole plot is just under half an acre with views over open countryside. A useful Barn 36ft. x 17ft. offers additional storage/workshop space, currently used for storage. The barn could be used for storing up to five vehicles or adaptable to many other uses.
