We understand this classic thatched cottage to be of cob and stone which was rethatched in 2016 from a highly regarded local thatcher and the kitchen extension to be of more modern construction under a slate roof.
Even from the outside it is clear to see this cottage is a loved home and coming in through the fine oak door it becomes even more clear. The double aspect beamed sitting room complete with large inglenook fireplace, former bread oven and a log burning stove gives a real sense of what this home is all about. To one side stairs rise to the first floor. The dining room is no less impressive, again being double aspect, having an equally large inglenook fireplace with log effect stove, and storage adjacent. Stairs rise to the first floor. The good sized study would lend itself to a downstairs bedroom should the need so arise and the adjacent cloakroom, had a shower in it under earlier ownership. The current Vendor has had the triple aspect kitchen updated and remodelled with Shaker style units and it now provides a welcoming space to cook, chat, casually dine and enjoy the garden outside through the windows or step out onto the terrace for some al fresco entertaining, through casement doors on the southern side. A window on the western side allows the rays from the setting sun to change the mood within. There is extensive wall, floor, drawer units, including larder cupboard, with soft close hinges and the expansive oak block work surface gives a traditional feel to the room. Appliances include a built-in dishwasher, fridge, and Rangemaster Classic 90 Deluxe range cooker with extractor and light above. Leading off the kitchen is a very useful Utility room having a built in freezer and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer and as the boiler is sited in here, makes a great space for some out of the way clothes drying.
Both double bedrooms are served by their own set of stairs but do connect via a door. Both offer extensive cupboards, vaulted ceilings and ensuites. One has a bath with shower over, the other a shower.
Outside
The detached barn garage sits opposite the cottage across the gardens and has up and over doors to either garage, internally these connect via a very useful workshop. A part glazed door leads from the drive into a small lobby in which there is a shower room and stairs that lead to the first floor where there are two rooms currently set up as a sitting/gaming room and bedroom.
Gardens
These are a true delight and are beautifully maintained and planted out. There is a main lawn that is divided by a meandering path that leads from the paviour drive to the rear of the cottage, and this lawn extends on one side of the cottage to a strategically positioned summer house, log, and gardeners’ store. A secondary lawn abuts the cottage on the roadside. There is a large marble floored terrace with pergola draped with a vine that must be a lovely space to entertain friends and family throughout the warmer months, whilst the sound of tumbling water percolates from the statue fountain at one end. The garden is extensively stocked with all manner of plants and trees including spring bulbs, Charles Ross apple, Beauty of Bath apple, hebe, hydrangea, scented roses, peony, crocosmia, cranes bill and rhubarb in the vegetable garden, the list just goes on. All the flora and fauna provide a very calming and sun trap location within which to sit and relax listening to the sounds of nature and village life beyond.
