The Property
Riding Cottage is an attractive and appealing detached property, immaculately presented throughout and set in beautifully maintained gardens in the heart of a vibrant village community. Elegant contemporary décor combines with flowing open layouts to create living space that is perfect for modern requirements. The light and airy atmosphere is hugely inviting and dovetails with the lovely outdoor space to offer a fantastic family home.
The front door opens from beneath a sheltering portico to the hallway with access to the ground floor accommodation and oak spindled staircase to the first floor. The sitting room is a relaxing space with a feature fireplace of exposed brick with wooden mantel over. Attractive half-panelled walls add character, along with an ornate ceiling rose and gorgeous herringbone flooring. Tucked behind the sitting room is a useful study, ideal for working from home or for use as a play room. The heart of the home is the spectacular open plan kitchen, living room and dining room. This vast room has been designed to offer an amazing entertaining area to spend time with friends and family. The kitchen features a fine range of bespoke cabinetry with quality integrated appliances, along with a central island offering further workspace and a spot for casual dining. The kitchen floors around to the dining area and onwards to a stunning comfortable seating area beneath a striking atrium ceiling. The décor is superb throughout and the whole room is bathed in natural light from extensive glazing; French doors open from both the kitchen area and the living area, meeting the patio to create indoor/outdoor living space. A useful utility room and adjacent WC add further convenience.
There are four fabulous bedrooms arranged across the first floor. All are finished to the exacting standard found in the living spaces. The principal bedroom is wonderfully spacious and light, with full height glazed doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens. The room benefits from a lovely generous en-suite shower room. Sleek tiling wraps around a suite including walk-in shower, wash hand basin set on a vanity unit and WC. The remaining bedrooms are equally light and inviting, with these rooms served by a bathroom with freestanding clawfoot bath, separate shower, wash hand basin set on a vanity unit and WC.
Externally
The gardens at Riding Cotttage are a haven in the heart of the village. A gated entrance opens to the wide gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles. The driveway leads to the detached garage which has been thoughtfully constructed to blend with the appearance of the house. The garage has a remote-controlled shutter door and benefits from power. Tall mature hedging shelters the front elevation and provides privacy.
The gardens lie to the rear with a flagged patio for outdoor entertaining and dining. An expanse of lawn stretches to colourful borders with mature shrubs and trees combining with fencing to make the gardens a private escape. There are fruit trees including apple and plum varieties and a rockery with water feature. A touch of fun and charm is provided by a summerhouse that is currently a children’s hideaway and an adjacent old outhouse that is a useful garden store.
