Marphet Cottage is a charming modernised thatch cottage, which offers an abundance of light and space. The original property is believed to date from 18th century. It cannot be overstated the time, effort and attention to detail that the current owners have put into making Marphet Cottage a family home. It has been beautifully finished, demonstrating contemporary and traditional living at its finest.
The pretty gardens are situated to the east of the house and are predominately laid to lawn with a variety of established fruit trees, shrubs and raised beds. There is wonderful secluded seating area right on the edge of the River Og. There is a garage and an outbuilding currently used as an office/studio. The property is approached via wooden gates, which lead to a large gravelled courtyard with parking for several cars.
To the front of the property, alongside a thatched wishing well, you enter through a charming thatch doorway leading into a large entrance hall. From the hall you will find an impressive double sitting/dining room featuring original beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace.
The owners have created a wonderful space for family living. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room not only offers superb space for cooking but also fantastic space to dine and entertain. French doors lead from the kitchen/breakfast room onto a patio area within the garden.
