House For Sale £425,000
*EXTRAORDINARY, extended CHARACTER cottage in the HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER village of NORLEY* Additional converted, usable LOFT! Stunning OPEN PLAN kitchen/living/dining plus second reception! Fabulous bathroom! Beautiful gardens + garage! A MUST VIEW!
What a remarkable home this is. The phrase 'must view' is chronically overused in property descriptions, but here it is utterly appropriate. A masterpiece of a contemporary reimagination of this historic cottage, no expense has been spared in creating a magical home fit for the 21st century. Glorious open-plan spaces, lashings of granite and wood, luxurious bathroom, private landscaped gardens in the most idyllic of locations - a truly special place of space, taste, and character without compromise. Welcome to Highview Cottage.
The charming, attractive, yet unassuming facade makes what lies behind even more of a treat. Step through the timber front door into a welcoming hallway, which like the frontage, really doesn't tell the story of what is beyond. Head left into a delightful lounge. Country-chic is the order of the day and sunlight floods in from the two elegant front windows. There is a real feeling of comfort, warmth and homeliness in this room - somewhere to retreat to for peace and quiet after a long day and it manages to be both spacious and intimate - the perfect combination for a room for which the primary purpose is relaxation. But the real magic is found back through the hall. Head through another handsome door to find the most fabulous open-plan space that could have been plucked from of the pages of a high-end country living magazine. Perfectly formed to incorporate areas to sit, dine and cook with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden and recently installed wood-burning stove, it is the ultimate interpretation of what would have been a humble home can become. The kitchen itself is a showpiece of the highest order. An island-esq peninsular adorned with oceans of quartz, provides plentiful preparation space while the enthusiastic culinarian will savour the use of the professional Rangemaster cooker with gas hob. While partners, guests or family members await a gastronomic delight, they can enjoy a perfectly chilled beverage from the integrated wine cooler. No need to worry about the washing up - there is an integrated dishwasher while the white goods are out of sight and, hopefully, out of mind in the practical utility room which also gives access to the side of the property and to the modern essential - the ground floor W.C.
Upstairs is no less special. Two comfortable double bedrooms, with far reaching views over the open-countryside are served by a bathroom that would be at home in the finest of hotels. A true wet-room with double shower and free standing designer bath, glass basin and vanity, it is an indulgent luxury to be savoured. Another stair leads to a converted loft space. Though not technically a bedroom, it is a space that can be used for a multitude of purposes. Light comes from a large skylight and the New-England style decor with white-washed floorboards is fresh and cheerful. This is a real bonus giving this home the space of three bedrooms while officially having two.
Then there is the garden. Private and beautiful with areas of patio, lawn and mature borders, it is a private oasis of horticultural delights. At the bottom of the garden there is a detached timber garage providing practical storage for the clutter of life while there is plenty of parking for vehicles on the quiet lane behind. Take a stroll from the rear gate into Flaxmere, an extraordinarily lovely area of woodland and an area of special scientific interest leading to the mere itself. Living here comes with it the very best of nature on your doorstep.
What more can be said about Highview Cottage other than it is an inspiring, charming home of what dreams are made in the most special of locations. This is one that really must be seen to be believed. Call now to arrange your exclusive tour and make your dream come true.
