5 bedroom detached house for sale

Beyond the Victorian red brick façade, refined interiors marry sympathetic character with aesthetic, contemporary features at this private family home.

Believed to have been a former store and pump house to the private orchard for Charlwood House, Fig Tree Cottage was constructed in circa 1890 and later converted into a family home which enjoys beautiful gardens and a particularly private setting in the heart of the village.

Accessed along a private driveway, shared with only the neighbouring property, this handsome home has been subject to a thorough renovation in recent years. Living areas overlook and open onto the gardens, with the sitting room featuring a pretty bay window and the outstanding, vaulted kitchen/dining room offering bi-folding doors onto the the old courtyard, which now forms the patio area of the garden, ideal for al fresco entertaining. The kitchen has an adjacent utility room, there is a downstairs WC and boot room and a family room/snug could make a great fifth bedroom, in addition to the study to the front.

Upstairs bedrooms overlook neighbouring fields, where from time to time you'll see sheep grazing, and are arranged around a modern central staircase. The bathroom is just as luxuriously fitted as the rest of the house and there's even a useful laundry chute.

At the front of the cottage, there is a mature garden, covered terrace, double garage with EV point and plentiful parking.
