This detached eighteenth century house has been extended and renovated in recent years to create a delightful home with a pleasing flow to the rooms and skillfully planted landscaped gardens front and back. The living roof above the kitchen extension provides year long interest, enhancing the view from the first floor. Sitting in the heart of this perennially popular village, tucked back from the village road, White Cottage is a much loved home with some exceptional features.

This Georgian village house has well planned accommodation of nearly 2000 sq ft arranged over three floors. Dated 1790 it has the benefit of not being listed.

Entirely rewired, replumbed and damp proofed in the last ten years, the property offers practical space with ample storage options and a downstairs wc/electric shower. There are double glazed windows throughout, engineered oak flooring across much of the ground floor and bespoke oak ledged and braced interior cottage doors with cast iron latches.

The superb, bright and light kitchen/dining/living room is at the heart of the house and has a slate floor, large lantern window and bi-fold doors that open on to the sunny garden terrace. The well-designed modern kitchen includes a breakfast bar, granite worktops, integrated appliances, electric Aga and utility room alongside.

There is a large 26ft sitting room with a wood burning stove and a versatile study/snug with an original exposed beam.

There is a large house bathroom and two further shower rooms, all with contemporary, high specification fixtures and fittings.

The second floor bedroom suite with skylights is a wonderful, versatile space.

Outside - A five-bar gate gives access to the gravel drive which sweeps in front of the house and provides parking for up to four cars. The house is set well back from the road behind a mature hedge and the garden with a winding gravel path has been abundantly planted with white flowers. A side access leads to the rear garden which faces south and is a private space and sheltered sun trap, bounded by mellow brick walls. Perennials provide a colourful summer and autumn display, interspersed with gravel and paved areas. An elevated pond sits against the workshop wall with a water feature and living wall. The three outbuildings are contemporaneous with the house, have power and light, and provide substantial, very useful storage and workshop space.
