House For Sale £975,000
Manor Cottage enjoys a prominent position slightly set back from Mill Road and is a very attractive stone cottage having been formerly part of Stratton Audley Manor.
The original cottage is believed to date back to the 18th Century and in recent years has been sympathetically extended and upgraded to provide very well presented and comfortable accommodation over two floors with the potential to create further rooms in the large boarded loft.
The property retains much of its period charm, yet is ideally suited for modern living. A panelled front door opens into the limestone tiled reception hall with exposed beamed ceiling and the wooden staircase, with storage cupboard below, gently rises to the first floor galleried landing. Glazed doors open into the beamed sitting room which enjoys a double aspect with fireplace housing wood burner and French doors opening onto the garden. Lying across the hall is a further flexible reception room, currently used as an office and enjoying direct access to the walled courtyard terrace.
To the rear is the stunning split level kitchen/dining/family room which works extremely well. The kitchen is at a lower level with bespoke fitted base and eye level units along with matching island units. Integral appliances include Nexus Rangemaster range with five ring gas hob and warming plate along with a Neff dishwasher.
Bi-fold doors open from the dining area onto the south west facing paved terrace which is a real sun trap. From the kitchen one is able to access the boot room with pantry beyond and off the family room is the utility room, separate cloakroom with covered walkway offering a useful storage area and linking the cottage to the garage.
First floor
All four bedrooms radiate off from the galleried landing which has a run of fitted book shelving. The master bedroom lies to the rear of the house accessed through a dressing area and is served by a part tiled en suite bathroom with full size shower recess. In the corner of the bathroom is an airing cupboard housing a pressurised hot water cylinder.
Bedroom two has an en suite shower room with the two remaining double bedrooms served by a family shower room. A retractable loft ladder drops down from the loft hatch on the landing to reveal a full height boarded loft which currently offers large storage space but equally has great potential to be converted into second floor accommodation, subject to obtaining the relevant consents.
Outside
A pair of wooden gates open to reveal the gravelled drive offering facilities for off-road parking and provides access to the oversized single garage with workshop/storage area to one side and housing the Grant oil fired boiler.
The main walled garden lies to east of the cottage with lawn edged by gravelled pathways. Running along the rear of the cottage is a wide brick path offering a good storage area and where the oil tank and gas cylinders are currently located.
A further walled and paved terrace lies to the south west providing a great area for seating and outdoor entertaining with two water features and enjoying direct access into the dining room from the bi-fold doors.
