Stone Hill Cottage is a stunning "chocolate box" black and white "Yeoman Hall House" believed to date back to 1490 with later additions in 1657, all sat in an idyllic 0.2 acre plot, with countryside to front and rear.
This grade II listed cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached property having accommodation of some 1700 sq ft including, the basement study. The property enjoys light airy rooms over three floors and really is a credit to the current owners, who have constantly updated and improved their home without spoiling the ample character throughout.
The property has all the original features that you would expect, with beams in every room, wonderful exposed brick fireplaces and chimney breasts. The 25' living room has a large inglenook fireplace containing wood burning stove and enjoys a double aspect to front and rear with French doors looking out on to the garden, which allows light to flood into the room. The impressive dining room, which can be accessed from the kitchen, has a wealth of beams and enough space to fit a dining table to seat 8 people, perfect for entertaining family and friends. An excellent study accessed through a hatch with steps down from the dining room is perfect for working from home or as a hobby room. The good sized recently fitted quality kitchen benefits from built in appliances and has stable door leading out on to the patio area. A spacious entrance hall at the front of the house has plenty of room for storing shoes and coats and has a convenient downstairs cloakroom off. The first floor has a wonderful master bedroom with walk in wardrobe, further built in wardrobe and under eaves storage. The bedroom has plenty of room for further storage, beautiful fireplace and window seat overlooking the immaculate front garden. The first floor also includes a charming third single room with storage cupboard and a newly replaced family bathroom with shower over bath. The stairs then lead to a further double bedroom, full of character, with views over fields.
The vendors have clearly loved the beautiful gardens, which complement the cottage with so many wonderful areas of sweeping fully stocked flower beds, brick pathways, pergola and gated "secret garden" with a pond. There is a lovely patio area, perfect for dining outside or having your morning coffee in the sunshine. From the garden, a gate leads to the driveway with extensive parking and a substantial 20'x17' brick built double garage/workshop, which can also be access from a side door. This also benefits from a first-floor hobby room which could be a second option for a working from home space. To the rear, there are beautiful views over fields with horses, which is a welcomed sight when coming home and pulling into the driveway.
Offered with no onward chain this property must be viewed to fully appreciate its beauty both inside and out!
