Description
Thatched Cottage is an outstanding period house set in two acres of wonderful mature grounds with outbuildings and a swimming pool. The house has the added benefit of a fabulous detached one bedroom annex. Unusually for a house of this character and age, it is not listed.
The ground floor offers an entrance hall/boot room leading to an exceptional kitchen/breakfast room with a range of quality cupboards and integrated appliances including an Aga, a central island unit, walk in pantry and utility room. There is a useful study and guest cloakroom. Of particular note is the orangery which enjoys a lovely feeling of space and light, and acts as a perfect counterpoint to the traditional character of the kitchen. There is a formal dining room with exposed timbers, a brick fireplace and wood burner. The superb main reception room enjoys an array of character features including exposed timbers, a fireplace with wood burner and a parquet floor.
The first floor comprises a main bedroom suite with walk in wardrobe and bathroom. There are two further bedroom suites with shower rooms.
The house is approached via a long gravel driveway leading to a range of useful outbuildings including garages, car ports and stables. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with a swimming pool and decked surround with bbq, kitchen and dining area, various pathways and well stocked flower beds, a pond and vegetable patch. To the right of the driveway is a detached annex with a timber and vaulted reception room, bedroom with en suite bathroom and a kitchen. The annex has a council tax band A.
