House For Sale £750,000
OVERVIEW A beautifully presented timber framed character cottage steeped in history and improved over recent decades, offering generous accommodation and an idyllic landscaped wrap -around garden with paddock overlooking open countryside.
Columbyne Cottage has retained many of its original elegant features including beautifully maintained internal doors, exposed beams, and original fireplaces. It has a good level of accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor provides a spacious entrance hall, which works well as a library, with doors to two reception rooms with original open fire and a wood burning stove. There is a utility area and shower room by the rear access which leads to the ground floor bedroom, making this an ideal opportunity to be a self-contained annex. To the rear of the ground floor is a charming cottage kitchen with Rayburn stove, and beyond is a conservatory which blends the property to the garden seamlessly.
A staircase leads from the library to the first floor providing two double bedrooms, both enjoying beautiful countryside views, and a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE The property occupies a generous plot, set well back from the road, measuring approx. 1 acre.
To the right-hand side of the house is a gated entrance which leads to a turning circle providing off-road parking for several cars, two double garages and car port. To the left-hand side of the house there is another gated access with dropped kerb leading to a further double garage/workshop in need of considerable repair.
The garden elegantly wraps around the property and has been carefully fenced to create ideal sections for pets and animals. There are several mature trees, including ash, walnut, plum, apple and pear.
There is also a studio/home office with power and lighting connected, a wood store and shed to remain.
To the rear of the garden, you have your very own private paddock, accessed via a gate from the main garden area, in an idyllic setting overlooking open fields with several mature trees including ash, oak, apple and pear. The paddock has been cultivated as a wildlife area with many wildflowers.
All in around 0.95 acre.
