Situated in an elevated position half the way up the hill which leads into the sought after historic village of Ackleton, renowned for superb old properties in a quiet and exclusive neighbourhood, its small size and the excellent food at its fine gastro pub ‘The Red Cow’, this gorgeous cottage should not fail to tug at the heart strings. With the glorious lavender wisteria meandering round the property, and with a profusion of bright purple Aubretias tumbling over the rockery fronting the lane, this is the ultimate picture postcard, English country cottage. Situated next to the old mission hall and with fields next to that, it has a very rural setting with just a couple of near neighbours, for good measure. Cocooned by a dramatic sandstone rock, a defining feature of the area, the creamy frontage, a serene backdrop to this riot of colour, is quite wide and with the part rendered, part stone and brick façade with its excellent clay tiled roof, lowered in parts to include a bonnet style, swathing the open porch and bay window, the first impression is somewhat informal and quite delightful. Dating back in parts to the sixteenth century, the subsequent additionsto the cottage keep within the original styling, with its pretty dormer windows whilst using some larger windows to excellent effect on the ground floor. The property now offers a surprisingly light and airy contemporary feel whilst maintaining its quaint ‘cottagey’ ambience. The oak beams have been stripped and blend well with the beautiful medium oak staircase, made to order by Nevil Johnson, and the complementing ‘oak’ Karndean flooring, which muted colour works so well with the beams and cream décor. The lighting is largely contemporary LED spotlighting, the windows have all been replaced with sympathetically styled uPVC casement windows, and the oak effect uPVC external doors blend seamlessly with the old timber painted ledged and braced doors with cast iron Suffolk latches. Beautifully presented, the house enjoys a wealth of original period details and has been sensitively adapted and subsequently maintained to retain much of its original charm and homeliness.
