A gorgeous detached cottage of great character, set in a lovely, quiet lane in this popular village.
April Cottage is a beautiful detached cottage, originally built by the renowned Wells brothers and set in a tranquil and popular location. The property, which is being offered for sale for the first time in over 50 years, has excellent accommodation, which has been well maintained over the years.
On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall, cloakroom, large sitting room, kitchen and utility room, dining room and study or 4th bedroom. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, the main one of which has an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom.
Typical of its era, the cottage is rich in character and charming features, including a partly thatched roof and an open fireplace in the sitting room. To the front, there is a generous parking area, with the property benefiting from two separate points of access. To one side sits a large detached double garage, complete with electricity and running water, along with an attractive rondavel. Currently used as a home office, this versatile space offers potential for a variety of alternative uses.
The garden is a prominent feature of this lovely cottage, being beautifully maintained and of an excellent size. There is an expanse of lawn and a variety of specimen plants and trees, including palm trees, as well as a handy summerhouse, ideal for storage, hobbies or use as a retreat. It has a good degree of privacy and is a real suntrap, with a terrace immediately next to the house. There is scope to enlarge the property, subject to the usual consents.
Whilst the cottage has been very well maintained over the years, it also offers scope for enlargement, particularly given its generous plot. With mellow stone and part timbered elevations, it is a strikingly attractive property that combines character with future possibilities. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a charming home with significant potential, set in a highly desirable and peaceful location.
