House For Sale £1,250,000
Shepherds Cottage is a thatched 17th century detached cottage, which has been extended over the years to create a more versatile family home.
The entrance to the property takes you through to the extended part of the house, which is the social family room. The dual aspect floor to ceiling patio doors with large windows either side, offer a wealth of natural light. White painted walls and hints of Oak features add to the modernised feeling. A wood burning stove stands proudly in a raised alcove with a slate hearth and wooden mantle above. Hardwood flooring underfoot finishes the room off nicely. An open archway leads through to the large kitchen/dining room, which continues the contemporary look with hardwood flooring, mushroom colour painted walls alongside exposed brick and timbers which complement the period cottage feeling. The sleek kitchen features a central island, integrated appliances and a range of white cupboards with light marble worktops. A built in alcove holds the double breadth aga, with an exposed brick surround. A large utility room has access to the rear garden.
Further to the kitchen, a door leads through to a cosy snug and an additional door takes you through to a hallway providing access to a downstairs guest bedroom with an original inglenook fireplace. Another door takes you to two upstairs bedrooms.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two family bathrooms all of which are finished to a high standard. Two of which benefit from additional storage space. The main bedroom built above the extension has floor to ceiling sash windows with views overlooking the rear garden and beyond.
Outside
The cottage is approached via a brick paved driveway, providing a generous amount of parking.
A terraced patio area edged by a brick wall creates a secluded cosy space to enjoy a coffee in the afternoon sun. Steps lead up to an additional terrace with large well stocked flower beds filled with a variety of shrubs and plants which sit either side of the steps. The mature gardens of about 2.63 acres are full of specimen trees and shrubs with beautiful countryside views. The outside agricultural barn is currently used as a workshop, whilst providing plenty of space for a wood store. All in all offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
