DESCRIPTION
Located in the heart of the village, Saddlers Cottage is a characterful Grade II Listed, 18th Century thatched cottage which has been attractively and sympathetically renovated by the current owners.
At in excess of 1700 square feet, there is a wealth of space which offers flexible accommodation over two storeys. There is a wonderful balance of the old and the new, with many of the original features being retained such as the Inglenook fireplace with log burner, exposed timber beams and original hard wood flooring and the addition of limestone floor, gas central heating throughout and zoned underfloor heating the ground floor. The thatch is in excellent condition and was rethatched in 2015.
The Kitchen/Dining room is the real hub of the home with dual aspect to the front and rear gardens and was custom made to include a large quartz peninsular with high end integrated appliances, instant boiling tap, wine fridge, gas AGA and limestone flooring with underfloor heating. There is a large boarded loft for storage above the kitchen. There is also a separate utility room with additional storage.
On entering the homely reception room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful Inglenook fireplace with log burner and bread oven. This room overlooks the front of the property and offers an abundance of character with the masonry, exposed beams and limestone flooring with underfloor heating. The third bedroom/annex bedroom (currently used as a treatment room) offers flexible accommodation due to the fact it enjoys its own private entrance, has an en-suite bathroom and is located on the ground floor.
The family bathroom includes a jacuzzi bath with a large separate shower cubicle with dual rainfall MIRA shower and underfloor heating.
Upstairs there are two generously sized bedrooms with stunning vaulted ceilings, a sizeable dressing room with original wooden floors and built in wardrobes / storage cabinet and an upstairs W.C.
OUTSIDE
The low maintenance rear garden is accessed through the side of the house and also the kitchen patio doors where you’re met with a large, decked area, offering great al-fresco dining and entertaining space, bordered by flowers and shrubs. There is a versatile log cabin with electrics/light and power, ideal for additional workshop, storage or office space and additional storage shed with slate roof.
To the front, the cottage has a gravelled driveway, providing parking for 4 vehicles and wooden log stores. Mature shrubs, trees and established Wisteria compliment the exterior of the property.
