House For Sale £950,000
A beautiful four bedroomed home with aristocratic connections. Set on the edge of the historic Ascott Park, Piccadilly Cottage was originally built in the 17th century as a garden pavilion for the lord and lady of the manor. Much extended over the subsequent centuries, the cottage is now a spacious and characterful home with beautiful period features and flexible living space throughout. Outside, the garden is a great size - mostly laid to lawn with lovely views over the ancient Ascott Park estate.
Through the front door and the house offers a warm welcome. There's a surprising amount of space in this property and rooms that can be tailored to suit your family's requirements. Past the downstairs WC and you'll find the large, high ceilinged, comfortable sitting room with built in cabinetry and a working woodburner. This part of the property has a very Victorian feel and the grand conservatory extension that leads
from the sitting room suits that style and design. Double glazed with travertine flooring, the conservatory is an incredibly useful addition to the property and overlooking the garden, a wonderful place to enjoy the open countryside views. On the other side of the property is a 'snug' which would make a perfect home office or playroom. Through the spacious dining room and you find the well-equipped country kitchen at the rear".and it's here the property takes several steps back in time. A stunning stone arch (dating from the 1600's) creates a spectacular feature along one wall, with another equally grand archway leading you outside into a gorgeous walled courtyard. A lovely secluded spot, this patio area would be perfect for dining out on sunny evenings.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is very generous, with wooden floorboards and views over the garden. The ensuite shower room is spacious and beautifully decorated with 'fired earth' style fittings and tiles. The family bathroom is also a good size and 'wows' with a traditional roll top slipper bath. The cottage offers another good-sized double bedroom on this floor (with original built in cupboards) and two further slightly smaller doubles which would be perfect as children's or guest rooms. Freshly decorated and recarpeted throughout, Piccadilly Cottage is a fabulous family home with links to some wonderful local history. A deceptively spacious house with character and a versatile layout, viewings are recommended to appreciate its charm fully.
