Ivy Cottage A classic country cottage that has latterly been improved and extended to create a spacious and comfortable home with excellent outdoor space. The cottage is believed to originate from the mid-18th century with subsequent extensions. Substantial walls, beams and old fireplaces echo the historic origins of this appealing cottage.
Ivy Cottage Ctd 1. * The large front door opens to a welcoming hall, with stairs to the first floor and a reception room on either side. The hall opens to the generous kitchen, a naturally light room with stunning views across the paddocks and beyond.
* The well fitted kitchen is based around a vintage Rayburn Nouvelle range which cooks, provides hot water and central heating. The oak surfaced kitchen was renewed 4 years ago and benefits from ample storage and a separate Stoves electric cooker.
• Steps lead down to the modern garden room (2019), which links to the snug TV room and opens to the large west facing patio and garden. This naturally light room provides excellent living space and links the garden with the house.
Ivy Cottage Ctd 2. * There is a rear hall to the other side of the kitchen, used for everyday access and which leads to the stables opposite. There is a further study/play/office room off the hall, a shower room & WC, and a small walk in in pantry/utility room.
* The first floor landing leads to four bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. There are two good double bedrooms, a twin bunk room and a nursery/box room, which could be used as a home office.
The Outside The outdoor living space, paddocks and buildings are what makes this property special. Accessed off a small and very quiet country lane, the drive has a large garage (with rooms above) and parking for several vehicles. A second, gated entrance leads to the gravelled front yard, stables, and land.
The Outside Ctd 1. * The garden and grounds wrap around three sides and to the west of the cottage.
* The three paddocks are in full view of the cottage with the stables immediately adjacent. The views west are over open countryside to hills in the distance and are uninterrupted by other properties.
* There are two oversize wooden stables with concrete yard in front, forage store barn to the side.
* Two additional wooden garages/workshop adjacent to the forage barn
* Separate tractor and storage barn.
The Outside Ctd 2. * There are three well managed, stock fenced paddocks in front of the cottage and stables, which border the large garden and pond area.
* There are several wooded parcels, including a small copse and a productive orchard, comprising mature apple, pear and plum trees.
* The mature garden is particularly attractive in spring and a fenced vegetable garden provides ample opportunity for home production.
