Property description
This 17th century former estate cottage to Osbaston Hall in an idyllic picturesque hamlet stands in almost half an acre and boasts a wealth of period features. Sympathetically extended, the property offers considerable scope and accommodation including a dining room, large sitting room, extended family kitchen fitted by Philip Dowse, four bedrooms, bathroom and shower room. Outside there is a generous gated driveway, two brick outbuildings and stunning south-facing gardens.
Ground Floor Accommodation
The property is entered into a heavily beamed dining hall with inglenook. A central hallway with staircase and cloakroom/WC provides access to a large south-facing double reception room with beamed ceiling and open fire with Minster stone surround. Several windows flood the room with light and french doors provide direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen has been recently extended by the current owners and fitted by Philip Dowse with a range of bespoke cabinets, granite worksurfacing and matching island unit. As one would expect the kitchen has a Belfast sink, oil fired Aga and walk-in pantry. Within the kitchen is a vaulted dining area with electric underfloor heating and French doors that open onto the rear garden.
First Floor Accommodation
On the first floor the spacious landing featuring a large number of exposed wall timbers gives access to four bedrooms, a large family bathroom with wall panelling and cast iron roll top bath and shower room fitted with a three piece suite.
Outside
The property has a wide road frontage to the quiet, single-track Hall Lane, with a large gravelled driveway to the side of the property accessed through a five bar gate. The south-facing gardens offer complete privacy and are arranged on two levels. From the formal garden wide stone steps lead to a small paddock / orchard area hosting a number of apple trees. Directly to the rear of the property is a large York stone terrace ideally situated for sunbathing and al fresco dining.
Outbuildings
Along the western boundary are two charming brick outbuildings that have been recently re-roofed and offer scope for conversion. Both having power and light, the outbuildings currently provide useful storage. We understand that Planning Permission has been granted in the past for extending one of the outbuildings to convert into a garage.
