Property description

Rarely available idyllic period cottage in an acre of gardens, with annex, stables and outbuildings. Set back from a quiet no through country lane the property is approached via a 150 foot private drive with mature trees and shrubs, leading to a gravelled courtyard parking area with Oak Cottage and out buildings on three sides. Oak Cottage itself is a beautiful part thatched black and white property dating from c1650, which has been extended to provide flexible family living with a large farmhouse style kitchen. Although in need of some updating, there is character throughout, with exposed beams, latch doors and inglenook fireplaces. In addition to the large kitchen are three reception rooms, and four first floor bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom with roll top bath. The annex is adjacent to the cottage on the courtyard, in a significant thatched barn, and provides largely open plan accommodation with vaulted ceilings, a bathroom and kitchen. Across the courtyard from the main house is a timber framed three bay detached garage and workshop. The cottage garden with vegetable patches and fruit trees opens into the paddock with additional out buildings, vehicle access and a three bay stable. Beyond the paddock is open countryside.
