A charming four bedroom country cottage with a 1168 sq ft detached annexe all set within a half an acre plot.


Description

Church Gate Cottage is a stunning country home occupying a generous established plot of about 1/2 an acre in this most sought after of villages.

The property also offers a recently completed two bedroom detached "grand design" style annexe that was designed by Manea Kella and shortlisted for a 2023 RIBA award, completed in 2022 and would make an ideal home for a relative or lucrative holiday let.

The main house has also been updated and modernised by the current owners and retains the beautiful original period features and character of a 19th century country house whilst combining the luxury and comfort of a modern home.

The impressive entrance hall has a heavily beamed ceiling and fireplace complete with wood burning stove. There is a fabulous sized sitting room with double aspect windows, parquet herringbone flooring and a wood burning stove.

The dining room also has a bay window overlooking the beautifully landscaped rear gardens. There is also a home office/ study, conservatory and a modern open plan kitchen diner with a separate utility room and downstairs WC.

To the first floor, the principle bedroom has a generous en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.

The annexe, a stable conversion, is a masterfully designed addition and is finished to an exceptionally high standard with luxurious fixtures and fittings. Floor to ceiling windows and Velux windows create incredible bright spaces and the living room has high vaulted ceilings with a feature wood burning stove and semi-open plan handmade kitchen. This room enjoys stunning views across the gardens and has slide patio doors onto a terrace. There is also a useful garden store.

Both properties are accessed via a gated driveway which provides ample parking.

The house nestles within about half an acre of grounds. The formal gardens are laid mainly to lawns with well stocked flower borders and a variety of mature tress and shrubs. Truly a garden that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
