Property description
Nestled between the village of Totland and the beautiful Tennyson Downs is this quintessential English cottage, furthermore, the thatch has been well-maintained and redone over recent years.
Dating back to around 1600, it has plenty of charm and character, from the wooden floor boards to the beamed ceilings. On the ground floor, the kitchen has an Aga (needing a little TLC) and cottage-style units, with plenty of storage it has a very homely feel. The sitting room has stained glass windows allegedly from a time long past when a vicar resided here which just adds to the character of the home.
There is also another reception room currently used as a dining room which has French doors opening out to the garden, moreover, there is also a wood burner for cold toes in the winter months. The lounge is light with windows looking out to a view that you will never tire of; over the surrounding countryside towards Headon Warren. Another log burner adds cosiness, although this home does have night storage heaters too. There is a ground floor bedroom which is a good sized double as well as the family bathroom with a partitioned off separate toilet.
On the first floor, there are two excellent sized bedrooms, with bedroom 1 having a fantastic outlook and unusual windows which are simply stunning and bedroom 2 also has a lovely outlook. The cottage has so much to see and appreciate in a home that is steeped in local history.
What the Owner says:
When I saw this cottage, it was love!
Originally fairly small, it has been extended out over the years to provide plenty of living space. The home is currently let out successfully and it would be ideal as a holiday let/weekend retreat as well.
