House For Sale £850,000
A country home of great charm and character set in extensive grounds with stables and one acre paddock.
Description
Whilst the front of this magical country home is set alongside the A368, turn into the driveway and step to the rear and a whole different world opens up! The gardens are an absolute delight and have been the pride and joy of the previous owners who lived in the home from over 40 years. A large expanse of lawn is bordered by mature well stocked borders, with water features, suntrap seating areas – truly a rural idyll with a true sense of country living, perfect for growing families and with the lovely ‘hidden paddock’ beyond. The paddock is surrounded by a backdrop of well established hedges and trees providing both shelter and terrific privacy with stabling and separate lane access alongside the cottage to the road.
The cottage porch opens to an inner hallway opening on one side to a generous sitting room of over 20’ in length with a feature cast iron fireplace and a bright triple aspect. To the opposite side of the hallway is an exceptionally cosy snug, perfect for nights in next to the substantial inglenook fireplace and with exposed ceiling beams adding to the warmth and character of the room. The adjacent kitchen offers plenty of storage with the benefit of a separate utility and the dining room has been a favourite area for the family, set to the rear of the house with two large windows and a door opening directly to the garden allowing guests to drift when entertaining on summer afternoons and evenings.
All four bedrooms are on the first floor, with two bathrooms and the principal bedroom one has a dedicated en suite cloakroom. Both bedrooms one and two command fine views over the gardens to the rear and the countryside beyond.
