Charming thatched cottage in quiet village location
Description
This chocolate box thatched cottage is situated on a quiet lane and offers lovely bright accommodation with a cosy feel throughout, yet extending to over 4,000 sq ft in total. The property sits within mature private grounds that extend to about 1.1 acres and includes tennis court and stabling. The cottage has a grade II listing and maintains many original features and sympathetic restorations.
The house is approached by a generous and welcoming reception hall which leads to a delightful dining room displaying a wealth of beams. There is a large sitting room with a stone fireplace with log burner and a bright conservatory offering views over the garden. The Smallbone painted wood kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an Aga and original flooring. The kitchen flows through to a generous utility room which leads on to a separate snug and downstairs bedroom with en suite and its own entrance, offering potential independent living, or the creation of an annexe incorporating the bedrooms above, if required.
At one end of the property a staircase leads to an office, two double bedrooms, one with a separate dressing area, a family bathroom with cast iron bath tub. At the other end of the cottage the staircase leads to two further double bedrooms.
A large driveway gives access to a detached double garage and additional out buildings previously used as a gym. The garden wraps around the property and benefits from extensive lawns along with mature planters and an astro turf tennis court. There is also a stable block for equestrian purposes or storage, comprising two stables and a tack room. There is also an established chicken coop for those keen to enjoy the "good life".
We are informed by the seller that the thatch on the main building was replaced about 10 years ago and that planning permission exists to replace the thatch on the annex with a slate tiled roof.
