The Accommodation
Grade II listed and rich in character, Ivytodd Cottage is a charming and highly versatile country home, offering beautifully balanced accommodation alongside a rare collection of ancillary spaces. Thoughtfully arranged, the property provides comfortable family living while lending itself perfectly to multi-generational arrangements, guest accommodation or home-working — all within a wonderfully private setting. The accommodation at Ivytodd Cottage is both generous and thoughtfully arranged, offering a natural flow that suits everyday family life while remaining equally well suited to entertaining.
The ground floor opens via a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the character and proportions found throughout the house. The principal sitting room is a warm and inviting space, enjoying views and direct access to the garden, and providing an ideal setting for relaxed evenings. Double doors connect through to a bright and well-proportioned dining room, creating a flexible layout that works beautifully for both formal occasions and informal gatherings.
At the heart of the home lies the expansive kitchen/breakfast room — a true family hub, offering ample space for cooking, dining and socialising. Well laid out and supported by a practical utility room and cloakroom, this space is designed for modern living while retaining a strong sense of comfort and practicality. To the far wing of the house, a dedicated study provides a quiet and secluded workspace, ideal for home working or reading, positioned conveniently alongside a well-appointed family bathroom, further enhancing the flexibility of the ground-floor accommodation.
The first floor continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding grounds. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering a calm and restful retreat. The remaining bedrooms are served by a centrally positioned family bathroom, while the landing provides excellent circulation and useful storage, ensuring the house functions comfortably as a family home.
Outside
The property is set within beautifully established grounds that offer a rare degree of privacy and versatility. The exterior is anchored by a substantial double garage, which serves as the base for the first annexe. For those seeking a dedicated wellness or professional space, a separate, well-proportioned gym/office building is situated within the garden, providing an ideal retreat from the main house. The expansive plot features a blend of paved terrace areas—perfect for al fresco dining—and manicured lawns, all coming together to create a sophisticated outdoor environment that complements the extensive internal accommodation.
Situated above the double garage, Annexe One offers a fully self-contained suite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The upper floor comprises a large bedroom with integrated storage and a private en-suite shower room, while a kitchenette at ground-floor level allows for complete independence from the main house.
Annexe Two provides further versatility and is arranged as a detached, single-storey building. It incorporates a spacious bedroom with en-suite facilities and a secondary kitchenette, making it perfectly suited to long-term guests, an au pair, or independent living. Positioned adjacent to the gym/office building, this annexe also lends itself well to home-working or creative use.
