Ellerdine Heath

4 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Telford

BRIEF DESCRIPTION Barn Cottage is approached off a sweeping gravelled driveway and has been sympathetically extended over the years to become a substantial family home, surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens. This beautiful and tastefully presented detached country cottage features a wealth of period elements which have been sensitively complemented by more modern additions. Entered via a traditional timber door with stained glass detail, the entrance hall provides access to the ground floor cloakroom/WC, dining room and kitchen, as well as to the first floor. The family dining kitchen is the centrepiece of the home, being a large L-shaped space fitted with a range of solid wooden units having granite worktops over, and matching granite dining table. With dual aspect windows and glazed doors into the garden, the room remains bright, and features plenty of space for additional sofas etc, perfect for entertaining. There is an oil fired Rayburn for those who enjoy this method of cooking, supplemented by a mid-level double fan assisted oven and LPG hob. To one end of the room is a walk-in pantry and beyond that, the spacious utility/boot room, fitted with a range of shaker style units and with space and plumbing provision for a washing machine and tumble drier. A courtesy door opens to the side of the home. Double doors from the family dining kitchen open into the more formal dining room, which in turn provides access into the art room, a bright space to work and enjoy the garden. Off the dining room is the lounge, which is part of the original barn, having dual aspect and a wood burning stove. A second set of stairs off this room ascend to the first floor. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, with the master bedroom having an en-suite with both bath and shower and the guest bedroom having an en-suite WC. The family bathroom features a large corner bath.

Externally, the generously proportioned two thirds of an acre gardens are a particular feature of the property – being fully enclosed and thoughtfully planted with a variety of specimen trees, shrubs and perennials. There is a more formal garden to the front and side of the property, with a summerhouse and large patio entertaining area and a further lawned garden which features a variety of orchard trees, with a greenhouse. In addition to the large gravelled driveway and parking area, is an open garage for two/three vehicles, with a useful attached store which has a room behind containing a WC and kitchenette area.

There are two further attractive, additional substantial brick outbuildings, one of which is currently used as a large storage space with second storage area over and attached office space. Opposite this is a second building, which currently is laid out as a workshop to the ground floor with kitchen and WC, above which is a large storage space with built-in cupboard. The owners have drawn up plans for this to be converted into a small living annex which would incorporate a shower, and would make an ideal space for family/friends to stay or even as an AirBnB for example, however, these plans have not yet been submitted to the Council for formal consent/approval.

The owners are kindly leaving the following items, which we are sure will be of benefit to any future owner: the external security camers, summer house, greenhouse, all the garden plants and those in the cast iron pots and half barrels, the water feature with the fish, the stone water troughs and the substantial rotary washing line (as well as one propane bottle for the hob). Internally, the granite kitchen table, dishwasher, washing machine, curtains, blinds and the pulley clothes airer (in the utility) will also be included in the sale.
