A charming 1930s character cottage and separate 1 bedroom annexe approached via electric gates and a driveway providing off-road parking for 8-10 cars. It is situated within a plot of approximately one acre (tbv) with delightful, mature grounds including a lake, a summer house/office, a log store, a greenhouse and a covered seating area with a bar and two terraces. The separate annexe has a living room, kitchen, double bedroom and a shower room and its own paved courtyard garden.

Approaching the property there are electric gates and a driveway providing off-road parking for 8-10 cars with a CCTV system and alarms for both the house and the annexe. There is a concrete base and footings in place which are deep enough for either a brick built or an oak framed barn style double garage. There is a grassy area to the side and ahead together with borders with established planting. The annexe is to the right- hand side and has its own entrance and paved courtyard.

Entering the property via the front door, there is a good size hallway with stairs to the right and the lounge/diner ahead with a feature arched window. There is attractive stone tiled flooring and this continues into the lounge/diner and beyond into the kitchen/breakfast room and utility/cloakroom. The dining area has a large window to the front of the house and a fretwork covered radiator together with a useful storage cupboard to the side. The lounge has a wood burner and a large window overlooking the superb rear garden. There are double doors into a conservatory which is carpeted, has fitted blinds and a new roof. It has a contemporary style upright radiator which ensures that the room can be used all year round. There are double doors opening onto a terrace area in the rear garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been well-planned and is both characterful, with a feature exposed brick wall, and also practical. There are triple bi-fold doors into the garden and two sets of Velux windows ensuring that the room is filled with light. The flooring is porcelain wood effect which is both attractive and hard wearing. There is an extremely good range of duck egg blue, country style wall and base units with oak work surfaces. There is a superb island with space for 3 bar stools and it has a wine fridge, a cupboard with 2 deep pull-out drawers for storage and shelving to the side. There is a double butler sink and, on a practical note, granite work surfaces on each side. There are several full height storage cupboards and the double one to the right has full interior lighting. Integrated items include a Neff dishwasher, a Bosch electric combi-oven and microwave. There is space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer with full height cupboards on either side with additional storage above. The gas-fired 2 oven Aga adds to the sense of luxury and alongside there are further cupboards and work surfaces.
Beyond the kitchen/breakfast room is the utility/cloakroom. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine with a useful cupboard above with a hanging rail. There is a recently replaced gas fired combi boiler and a chrome ladder style radiator. There is a glazed window to the side and a white, wash hand basin and WC together with ceiling spotlights.

Moving upstairs, there is an attractive oak balustrade which was installed by the current owners. On the landing there is access to the loft which has a ladder, light and is boarded. The master bedroom is ahead and is a spacious double currently with a king size bed and it has a large window overlooking the beautiful garden. It has original wooden flooring and a period fireplace with a white surround and can be used as an open fire as/when required. There is an excellent walk-in wardrobe accessed via double doors with white lattice work exterior and full height panels on either side. There is superb storage with hanging rails, shelving and incorporating a dressing table with mirror above. The current arrangement means that the house now has 3 bedrooms but if 4 bedrooms are required then the master bedroom/walk-in wardrobe can be re-configured to revert back to 2 separate bedrooms.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also to the rear of the property overlooking the rear garden and again
with wooden flooring. To the right is the shower room and beyond at the far end is the family bathroom and each has attractive Amtico flooring. The shower room has a white suite with a contemporary wash hand basin and WC with cupboards and a vanity unit. There is a large walk-in shower cubicle with a feature shower rose, ceiling spotlights and a chrome ladder style radiator. The family bathroom is in a more traditional style with a white, wash hand basin and WC with a wooden seat. There is a deep oval bath with side mounted taps together with a vintage style towel rail. Above the door there is a stained- glass panel in Art Deco style which is in keeping with the 1930s build of the property.

Annexe:

The annexe has its own entrance and a side gate into a paved courtyard. The accommodation comprises a living room, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. The lounge is a good size with a large window giving plenty of light. The kitchen has a good range of white wall and base units with contrasting dark work surfaces together with a sink and drainer with a high, narrow window above. There is a 4-ring electric hob and oven together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and an under the counter fridge/freezer. The shower room has a white suite comprising wash hand basin and WC with built-in cupboard/vanity unit, a shower cubicle with large rose and a chrome ladder style radiator. The double bedroom has two storage cupboards each with a hanging rail and there are double doors opening onto a path leading to the paved courtyard garden at the rear. A delightful opportunity for independent living whilst in close proximity to the family home.

Outside:

Approaching the property there are electric gates and a driveway providing off-road parking for 8-10 cars with a CCTV system with alarms for both the house and the annexe. There is a concrete base and footings which are deep enough for either a brick built or an oak framed barn style double garage. There are grassy areas to the side and ahead together with borders containing established planting. The annexe is to the right and has its own entrance and paved courtyard garden. The rear garden provides many opportunities to enjoy this one acre plot (tbv) with several distinct areas in which to relax and to socialise. The boundaries are fully fenced making it safe for children and pet friendly.
There is access to the rear garden with pathways on both the left and right-hand side of the house. To the right a brick paved pathway leads to a similar brick paved terrace which can also be accessed from the triple bi-fold doors in the kitchen. There is a further sandstone paved terrace which can be accessed from the conservatory. Beyond the terraces, there is a covered seating area which has light and power with a bar area and presently with a fridge and Sky TV making it an ideal spot to relax and maybe enjoy a BBQ. To the right-hand side there is a summer house which has power and light so has the potential to be used as an office for those working from home whilst still retaining the additional storage to the side. Further along the garden, on the right, there is a small bower with a seat and, beyond that, a greenhouse, a log store and a vegetable plot. To the left-hand side of the house there is a large enclosure for chickens which is paved underneath to provide protection from foxes.
From the terraces there are attractive low brick walls opening onto an expanse of lawn with gates ahead. Following the pathway to the left leads to a magnificent lake currently with carp and ducks who avail themselves of the duck house on the edge of the lake. There is a delightful pathway around the lake leading to the far end of the garden and back with a detour up and around a banked area and also along a spur by the lake presently with a beehive in-situ. Then back to the area of lawn and established shrubs and trees including willows and a magnificent Eucalyptus.
