Property description

***NO UPWARD CHAIN***This individual four bedroom home dates back in part to 1700's however has been skilfully extended over the years and now provides a fantastic mix of both old and new. The property is surprisingly spacious whilst still retaining the charming features from the original building such as a beamed ceiling and feature fireplaces.

Ground Floor
To the ground floor a dining hallway leads through to a wonderful large and light lounge area with original beamed ceiling and open log fireplace. Also off the hall is a small conservatory area which houses plants but is also a cosy spot to sit and catch the evening sun. There is also a large fully fitted dining kitchen with a wonderful aspect across the garden. Also to the ground floor a useful passage leads to a downstairs cloakroom/WC and internal access to the garage.

To the first floor there is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Also to this floor is a more contemporary large room with fully vaulted ceilings giving it a spacious and airy feel. The large apex windows allow plenty of light and provide a fantastic view over the garden to the rear of the cottage. Although currently used as a study- studio, the room is also ideal for use as a guest bedroom.

Outside
Without doubt an impressive part of this property is the quintessential English cottage garden which wraps around three sides of the house. The garden is compact, colourful and easy to maintain and features a huge variety of flowers, shrubs and plants as well as a lawned area. The garden benefits from various established fruit trees including both Bramley and Russet apple. There are two natural looking small ponds leading to a tiny stream and waterfall together with various cleverly disguised practical areas for compost, potting and storage and an automatic watering system which makes light work of maintenance during the summer months. The garden is host to a wealth of wildlife including a variety of garden birds, mallard ducks, a resident pheasant and also a range of pond life. The current owners have created a comfortable and welcoming country garden, which they have opened to the public annually as part of the National Garden Scheme.
