House For Sale £1,200,000
Jasmine Cottage is a handsome Grade II cottage in the conservation area in the heart of Stoneleigh village. The property has been in the same family ownership since being purchased from the Stoneleigh estate and has undergone a complete renovation and remodelling to provide a fine family house, but with four en suite bedrooms, it could provide high-quality bed & breakfast accommodation. In the past, Jasmine Cottage has been a tea room and was originally a farmhouse for a 70 acre farm.
The renovation is beautifully appointed and decorated, with attractive floors, windows, exposed ceiling beams, traditional fireplaces, and a timber staircase. With four reception rooms to the original part of the house, two with woodburning stoves, the ground floor accommodation has been dramatically enhanced by the addition of a large family room with bifold doors and large roof lantern, creating a light, airy room, which links to the kitchen/breakfast room, originally a detached building, which is vaulted, with exposed roof trusses and has been beautifully fitted with integrated appliances and breakfast bar and a door to the south-facing garden.
There is a two-chamber cellar and beautiful bedroom accommodation with luxurious en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom has a walk-in fitted clothes closet. A staircase rises to a large loft storage area, which might be able to provide additional accommodation, subject to necessary consent.
The property has a handsome Georgian front elevation to the village street and octagonal chimney stacks, with a drive to one side with gates to a large parking area.
There is a large rear garden that is principally lawned, and part of which is leased at a peppercorn rent from Lord Leigh. Behind the house is a paved patio, and in the garden is a wonderful outbuilding providing a fully fitted bar and entertaining room, making Jasmine Cottage a great location for hosting friends and visitors.
