House For Sale £1,450,000
Golden End Cottage is a charming Grade II listed home with characterful accommodation throughout. The house originally dates from the 16th century, with an extension added to the rear in the late 1960s. Golden End Cottage really is a house of two halves.
One enters the property via the entrance hall with doors leading to the principal reception rooms. These include a lovely drawing room with an abundant character from the exposed timber beams and a delightful fireplace. Just off the drawing room is a useful study. The sizeable dining room is well-placed with views over the fore garden and makes for perfect formal dining. The ground floor is enhanced further via the kitchen/breakfast room and a sizeable dual-aspect family room which has double doors to the rear and a spiral staircase rising to the first floor. There is also a small playroom, utility and shower room.
The first floor is accessed via either the traditional staircase or the spiral staircase from the family room. There is a principal bedroom suite with an en suite shower room, bedroom two with an en suite bathroom and three further bedrooms. Bedroom three has a walk-in wardrobe/cupboard. There is also a family bathroom.
A private driveway to the front of the house provides plenty of parking and gives access to the double garage. The formal garden and grounds are delightful, with a beautiful fore garden having well-stocked herbaceous borders, shrub beds, specimen trees and topiary-lined pathways. To the rear is an immaculate, mainly laid to lawn garden of an enviable size, enclosed via mature hedging to ensure privacy. The garden has a variety of specimen trees, a neat patio area and a heated swimming pool.
