Guide Price £1,000,000 to £1,200,000
Conjuring a sense of a bygone age, Quince Tree Cottage transports you back in time whilst also offering everything you could wish for in a superior modern day home. Dating back to the 18th century, from the moment you open the garden gate you know you’ve found somewhere incredibly special.
The warm tones of timber framed walls and exposed beams flow from the hall into a wonderful reception room where an inglenook fireplace is utterly magnificent. Natural light tumbles in via double aspect leaded windows giving a supremely calm and restful feel, and a raised seating area is ideal for curling up with a good book. A focal point wood burner nestles within the fireplace where the date of 1740 is etched into the brickwork. The exemplary kitchen is superbly appointed with beautifully painted cabinets and granite countertops. A butler sink adds charm while twin Neff ovens and an induction hob are seamlessly incorporated. A deep larder is an added bonus and a separate utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view. Equally suited for family meals or evenings with friends, a double aspect dining room has been sympathetically added to the originally property and as such offers scope for enhancement (stnc).
The timber beams and traditional oak doors with their iron and leather latching continue upstairs where three generous bedrooms proffer flexible family accommodation, sharing an enviable bathroom with a sumptuous slipper bath, and a luxurious waterfall shower room.
Outside
The capacious south-facing gardens add a heavenly introduction to the cottage. Expansive lawns stretch up to the property peppered with trees and bordered by brilliantly high hedgerows that lend a coveted degree of privacy and a blissful backdrop. Raised flowerbeds curve around a terrace that’s an idyllic spot for al fresco dining, and a pretty summer house is a peaceful retreat.
To the rear of the property a gated driveway and detached double garaging supply off-road parking to numerous vehicles.
“Although it’s over 400 years old and Grade listed, it’s a house you can live in. It’s a little slice of history. With the originality of the timber framed walls, beams and fireplaces combined with the gardens it offers the best of both worlds.
When we first came to see it we loved the fact that it had an inglenook fireplace. As soon as we moved in and got the fire going on a December afternoon we knew that we’d found exactly what we’d been looking for. It’s got so much history and character, and then there’s the beautiful gardens – it was everything we wanted and we’ll miss everything about it.
We’ve sympathetically painted the woodwork to reflect how it would have originally looked, and if you look closely you can see the original cut marks on some of the timber beams as well as the date of 1740 in the inglenook fireplace.
The bath and shower rooms were recently fitted less than a year ago, and the kitchen was refurbished in 2019. As the dining room was added in 2004 it doesn’t fall under the Grade listing of the property so there’s ample scope to extend it if you wanted to (stnc).”
