House For Sale £1,350,000
This charming period, thatched cottage was originally constructed as a pair of timber framed cottages in the 17th Century and is Grade ll listed. Now crafted into one stunning house and benefiting from some unique and modern extensions, it offers a mix of cosy period rooms and light, bright modern additions.
The current owner fell in love with the property's rustic charm and set about extending and renovating the house, adding a well-planned and exquisitely built oak garden room with a wood burner. This light and bright room, offers a wonderful alternative to the more traditional sitting rooms which enjoy inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams.
One of the many outbuildings was cleverly joined to the main house with a glazed link. This has created the large open plan kitchen/breakfast room. Which is a unique feature in a Grade ll listed house. It is a triple aspect room with side access and ample space for a large table and for entertaining guests (in addition to the new garden room).
The bedrooms accommodation has been well decorated and is made up of five bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are three staircases, which allow all rooms to be self-contained yet very accessible.
Outside
It is the combination of both the setting and the grounds that make this house so special.
The grounds are laid out in a number of zones. There is a well-tended cottage garden with terraced flowerbeds and open grass areas as well as mature trees on the boundary. Directly adjacent to the kitchen is a large terraced area, ideal for a BBQ and entertaining. Adjacent to this is the stone Artist's studio basic facilities and a toilet (this could be converted into accommodation STPP). The remainder of the grounds are mainly laid to pasture and bounded by mature trees and hedges. There is a large duck pond and winterbourne straddled by wooden walkways, as well as a paddock with a stable block and field access from the main road.
