Property description
A quite charming Grade II listed thatched cottage set within 1.34 acres of formal garden, lawns and an all weather tennis court.
Description A quite charming Grade II listed thatched cottage, dating back in parts to the 17th Century having, we believe, evolved from a pair of silk weavers cottages, all set within 1.34 acres of formal garden, lawns and an all weather tennis court. This delightful country cottage has benefited from extensive improvements both internally, but more significantly to the outside with the addition of a first floor extension over the sitting room, rear hall and boiler room. Also extensive work has been carried out to the driveway, now covered in cobblestones by Classical Flagstones. From the driveway, a new double garage and office have been built in natural stone to blend in beautifully with the house.
Throughout the property there is a wealth of period features, these range from the exposed beams, flagstone floors, recessed niches and fossils and feature fireplaces in all the formal rooms. In both the drawing room and master bedroom the semi circular bow windows are an unusual feature.
OUTSIDE To the side of the property is a cobblestone driveway up to the double garage, to the rear of the double skin building is an office (this building offers potential for annexe conversion if required). Covered wood store at the rear of the garage.
The delightful rear gardens in total cover an area approximately 1.34 acres. This comprises lawned formal gardens with 'criss cross' crazy paved footpaths and terraces. A pergola with mature climber gives partial shade over a patio dinning area and pathway leads to an old stone seat. The gardens are superbly planted and tended with delightful rose gardens and flowerbeds. There is an abundance of flowering bushes, blossom and fruit trees. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn leading to the vegetable garden and fruit cage with a variety of soft fruit. At the top of the grounds and beyond this is the screened compost and bonfire area. The grounds include a useful implement/potting shed.
Within the grounds and to one side is the all weather tennis court by 'En-tout-cas'
The house and garden have wonderful views across adjacent farmland.
