Ensconced within the leafy greenery of wrap-around gated grounds and gardens, Laybrook Cottage pairs the eternal rustic charm of exposed timber beams with the quiet luxury of contemporary detailing. A capacious layout offers a wealth of versatility for those in need of secondary self-contained accommodation and the setting generates a heavenly sanctuary from the world outside.

Tucked back behind a gated frontage, the triple aspect entrance hall of a handsome red brick facade instantly gives a sense of the charm and space inside. Its engineered wood floor flows through the majority of the ground floor giving a wonderful level of cohesion. Soft neutral tones allow exposed beams and timber detailing to take centre stage in an elegantly understated way.

An abundance of wood beams stretch out above your head in a magnificent double aspect lounge where a wood burner nestles within the brickwork of the fireplace and bi-fold doors make it effortlessly easy for daily life to tumble out onto a south-west facing patio. Producing a picture perfect place to relax and entertain, the generous dimensions open into a formal dining room that echoes its classic cottage character.

Equally impressive and enviably proportioned, a supremely well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is filled with natural light and garden vistas. In the large kitchen area, the timeless elegance of a Neptune kitchen is showcased through beautifully chosen traditional cabinetry, complemented by a classic butler sink, an Aga (with AIMS), integrated appliances, and sleek Silestone quartz countertops. The wrap-around layout leaves ample space for a central breakfast table and a freestanding fridge freezer. A split stable-style door to the gardens combines with the exposed beams, feature brickwork and terracotta tiled floor to remind you of the property’s heritage, while the floor space continues into a snug/seating area that’s ideal for catching up on the events of each other’s day.
A separate utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view and unfolds onto an extended layout that has the versatility to become a self-contained wing for guests or older family members if needed. At present its exceptionally presented design includes a smart contemporary kitchen, an inviting family room with sliding doors to a tremendous conservatory and notable bedroom with an en suite shower room.

The outstanding dimensions and fluidity of this Elstead cottage continue throughout a succession of five impeccable bedrooms and a study that offers a peaceful place in which to work from home. Occupying its own wing of the property a spacious principal bedroom conjures a heavenly sanctuary where French doors lure you out onto a private balcony that allows leafy views to be carried through. Cleverly incorporated solid wood fitted wardrobes supply plenty of storage framing the doorway to an en suite that has both a wood panelled bath and a walk-in shower. A conical marble basin adds a deluxe twist to the elegant aesthetic and a sloping ceiling with a high skylight prompts a cherished feeling of height and space.

Teenagers will love the privacy that the second double bedroom offers with an en suite shower room of its own, and together the additional three bedrooms share a family bathroom. Making life that little bit easier on busy school day mornings, a separate shower room is located on the ground floor and completes the layout of Laybrook Cottage.

Outside
Sitting back from Milford Road behind clipped hedgerows and statuesque trees, the grounds and gardens of this 0.62 acre plot immediately let you know you’ve found somewhere special. To the front, a gated gravel driveway combines with detached double garaging, complete with power and lighting which provides secure off-road parking for several vehicles. Nearby, a heated outdoor tap adds a touch of practicality, perfect for washing the car and rinsing off dogs after muddy walks. To the rear, an extensive lawn stretches out, offering every excuse to unwind in the sunshine and fresh air.

These idyllic grounds make it irresistibly easy for your shoulders to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings. Wisteria covered pergolas on a considerable patio create a choice of spots to sit with a morning coffee or glass of wine in dappled shade, while the tasteful landscaping provides an abundance of options for al fresco dining. A charming summerhouse with power and internal and external lighting offers a delightful retreat, perfect for enjoying the garden. Additionally, a store room attached to the garaging offer ample handy external storage.
