£795,000

A most attractive period 4 bedroom cottage in quiet country lane within secluded and sunny south facing gardens. Extended and completely refurbished in 2014 this is the perfect example of a property which, despite is contemporary interior, retains much of the character of its construction era in the 1920's. It is deceptively spacious with 2 good sized receptions, a cloakroom/utility and a lovely open plan kitchen dining room. Upstairs the bedrooms are of good size with ensuite and family bathrooms. The extension has blended seamlessly with the original building, being off set, using pretty hand-made clay tiles and leadwork creating an authentic period look with a pitched storm porch adding to the curb appeal. On entering there is a spacious hall with boot and coat storage with the stairs leading to the first floor. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and is located on the lefthand side of the hall. The kitchen dining room is the star of the ground floor, bespoke fitted by Hamilton Stone being over 20ft long with pastel coloured wall and floor cabinets and a mix of oak and black granite counter tops. The usual appliances you would expect are built-in such as fridge and freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler, second fridge and Rangemaster with induction hob set in a brick surround. A rear hall has good storage cupboard space and leads to a utility room / WC and a useful further reception room. Access to the gardens can be made through bi-fold doors in the kitchen/dining room or double doors from the family room/ study. In all about 1400 sqft. The house is double glazed and has oil fired central heating. Independent electric underfloor heating is fitted to the kitchen dining room. Outside there are two areas of space with a morning patio directly off the family room and a large south main garden accessed from the kitchen/dining room. From here a paved patio serves as the ideal place for alfresco dining and entertaining. A step up leads to the main level lawn area enclosed by evergreen hedging with a shed to one side (electric laid on). There is also the bulk oil storage tank and BBQ area. A second step up leads to the top lawn, presently used as a children's play area. A wide gravel driveway at the front of the house provides ample parking for cars which includes a wall mounted EV charging point. There is full fibre broadband to the property.
