A charming detached cottage with attractive original features, on a peaceful residential cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Nocton.
Description
Wrays Cottage is a splendid detached period property, offering four bedrooms and a wealth of highly attractive living accommodation, in a convenient and popular setting in the heart of the village of Nocton. The property displays various charming character features throughout, including exposed brickwork, timber beams and fireplaces, while there are also more modern additions.
The property’s L-shaped layout means the accommodation is all focused around the beautiful courtyard gardens, including the four ground floor reception rooms. These include the well-proportioned sitting room with its handsome brick-built fireplace, the snug with its impressive vaulted ceiling and exposed timber beams, and the formal dining room, which has a fireplace with a log burner and double doors connecting to the kitchen. There is also a useful office for home working, while the kitchen and breakfast room has farmhouse-style units, a central island and a recessed Aga, as well as space for all the necessary appliances.
The welcoming entrance hall has a turned staircase, which leads to the galleried first floor landing and on to the principal bedroom with its skylights overhead and en suite shower room. There are three further well-presented double bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower unit.
At the entrance to the property, the gravel driveway provides ample parking as well as access to the integrated double garage for further parking. The garage could be converted to provide further living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The garden is located at the front of the house, benefitting from a sunny south-facing aspect. It includes paved and brick terracing for al fresco dining, with well-stocked border beds, various established shrubs and a well-maintained central lawn.
