Picturesque and secluded character cottage in a desirable location.

Description

Jelly Hollow is a charming and characterful Grade II listed home with 16th century origins with later 18th and 20th century additions. In recent years, the property has been extensively renovated and refurbished whilst retaining its original character features including exposed timber beams, and a magnificent Inglenook fireplace with Bressummer beam and beautiful stone flooring throughout.

A private lane leads to electric double gates, a gravelled driveway leads to the house giving an immediate sense of arrival. Upon entering via the oak framed porch, the welcoming entrance hall leads to three well proportioned reception rooms, a spectacular drawing room with Inglenook fireplace, a relaxed sitting room with skylight windows and a separate dining room. The current owners have added during their ownership a beautifully appointed Smallbone kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, Falcon range cooker and integrated appliances. There is ample space to dine and entertain with access outside to the terrace.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, adjoining dressing area and luxurious en suite. Bedroom two has the benefit of an en suite shower room and access on to a private terrace and lovely views across the gardens and beyond. The third double bedroom can be found across the landing along with two contemporary style bathrooms.

Outside, the gardens have been meticulously landscaped with a gently sloping lawn, a number of seating areas on the fabulous terrace, a hot tub and pretty views across the neighbouring countryside. There are a number of outbuildings including a home office with power, heating and open views over the garden and a bespoke dog kennel. There is a versatile and useful studio room with a bathroom above the double garage with an attached and secure cellar / storeroom.
