House For Sale £1,300,000
The agent says...
Field Cottage is a fantastic opportunity to own a spacious and characterful property, privately situated on the edge of the village set in 2.23 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds.
Inside the cottage, the stunning farmhouse kitchen is a particular feature, and has French doors out to the glorious landscaped gardens. The gardens are a mixture of formal and informal spaces and include a huge wildlife pond, sweeping lawn and a bridge across the river Asker that flows through the grounds.
The property
Ground Floor
The main entrance opens into a large and inviting reception room. Full of light and centrally located in the house, this is a great multipurpose space, currently used as a study and sitting room. Features include a wood burning stove, large under stairs storage cupboard and an oak floor. This floor continues through into the main sitting room which has an inset stove with black marble hearth, shutters on the two smaller windows, bespoke radiator cover, and built-in bookcases flanking the fireplace.
At the opposite end of the house is a farmhouse kitchen brimming with character. The handmade solid wood kitchen units have a mixture of finishes - deep grey units define the main preparation area, contrasted by oak units at either end. There is a built-in single oven and built-in combination microwave. An induction hob, with retracting extraction unit behind, is to one end of the granite worktop. Oak shelving runs above, along the length of the wall, providing space for display and storage of cooktop essentials. On the opposite side of the room there is a comfortable seating area with a built-in painted cupboard, with shelves and a leather top, and a space for sofa or chairs.
Through a hidden door in the larder unit is the utility room, which has a Belfast sink (set in sage green units) and built-in shelves and shoe storage benches. The separate WC is decorated with beautiful yellow, swan adorned wallpaper. Off the utility is probably the smartest garage/man cave you will ever see! The stand-out feature has to be the glazed garage doors with art deco style stained glass inserts. This room also boasts a capacious bespoke wine rack, sink, built-in high level cupboards with a hanging rail and shelves below, radiator and tiled floor.
First Floor
On the first floor there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms; Bedroom 1 has a feature fireplace and large fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has a fitted cupboard with drawers beneath.
Gardens and grounds
The cottage sits in 2.23 acres of idyllic, beautifully landscaped grounds and is approached via a gravel
driveway, with parking alongside the garage and utility. Behind the house, with access from the garage, is a gravel utility area which houses the oil tank and a rotary washing line, concealed from the main gardens by a high stone wall. French doors from the kitchen lead out to a stone patio and down a gravel path, that meanders through well-stocked borders and raised beds, to a greenhouse and a timber outbuilding with timber roof. The outbuilding is currently used as a sauna and gym, and also has separate storage areas within.
At the front of the property there is a large terrace with a tiled gazebo, to enjoy entertaining with superb views of the garden. The main lawn has been divided by a beech hedge, through which an arch leads to a formal garden, centred around an ammonite bench. Through the middle of a bank of non-fruiting lime trees is an ornamental bridge over a rill to the wildlife meadow beyond - a perfect spot to enjoy the shade of the trees in the summer. The drive (owned by Riverside Barn) continues beyond the house, alongside a large wildlife pond and a small paddock.
