Property description

A very rare opportunity to acquire a 'picture postcard' detached thatched cottage constructed from whitened stone elevations under a beautiful thatched roof located in arguably one of the most sought after locations within this beautiful village. Offering a wealth of character including exposed beams, latch doors and open fireplaces, the accommodation has been sympathetically renovated and updated to a very high standard including an outstanding contemporary single storey extension creating a wonderful combination of the old and the new. Set out over two floors, the property now offers flexible living space including no less than four character receptions in the original cottage, a beautiful kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a bespoke range of oak base and wall units including granite work tops, integrated German appliances and a central island with breakfast bar and a breathtaking vaulted garden room complete with log burning stove featuring a glass atrium overlooking the terrace and gardens. The first floor opens onto a spacious landing with built in storage, vaulted master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom suite. Should further bedroom space be required, the ground floor study would make a generous bedroom five. Externally and of particular note are the stunning secluded gardens offering a sunny south facing aspect that have been beautifully landscaped with well stocked borders, box hedgerow, specimen trees and shrubs, and a large travertine terrace leading onto a generous lawn area. Directly behind the cottage a full width Loggia with slate tiled roof and original cobbled floor creates a wonderful backdrop which in turn provides sheltered access to an externally accessed cellar. Burnham Cottage also comes with the unusual advantage of private parking for a number of vehicles and a period detached outbuilding offering useful storage.
