Description

White Cottage is a delightful country cottage, which extends to over 3,200 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation. The current owners have commissioned a full programme of extension and refurbishment work, creating a contemporary home suitable for modern living.

The property is set back behind private automated gates with an extensive driveway and parking for several vehicles. The pretty covered entrance opens to a spacious reception hall with attractive Ted Todd herringbone flooring. To the right of the hallway is the impressive 23’9” x 21’9” double aspect Sitting room with bespoke fitted bar area and full height stone fireplace fitted with a contemporary style gas fire. To the left of the hallway lies the living room with fireplace and log burner which opens into the spacious playroom. The living room leads into the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, with shaker style units, quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of Neff appliances. The kitchen enjoys a double aspect with views over the gardens and pond. Vaulted ceilings flood the room with natural light and bifold doors open onto the patio, which provides an ideal space for alfresco dining. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a fully fitted utility room, a cloak room with bespoke fitted furniture and a WC. The property also benefits from a modern security and CCTV system.

To the first floor there are four generously proportioned bedrooms with lovely aspects. The principal suite benefits from a fitted dressing room and a contemporary designed en suite bathroom with shower. The remaining bedrooms are served by the house bathroom, with freestanding bath and a separate shower. Externally the property sits in 0.45 acres of landscaped south westerly gardens and there is a delightful freshwater pond with fountain. There is a treble fronted oak framed garage, with an additional room currently being used as a gym, easily adaptable to suit many needs.
