Attractive home with ample character and far reaching views.
Vine Cottage is a detached six bedroom period home with ample charm and character. Tucked away at the end of a shared, private driveway, the cottage boasts plot of around three quarters of an acre, with panoramic far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. Over the years, the cottage has been carefully extended and substantially renovated, while preserving its character and period features, including exposed patterned brickwork and timber beams, giving it a rustic yet elegant ambiance.
Upon entering the cottage, you arrive into a welcoming reception hallway with solid oak floors that continue throughout the main reception rooms, including a reception room with an adjacent snug and a separate reception room currently utilized as a study.
The heart of the home is the farmhouse-style kitchen, featuring a range of units, granite countertops, flagstone flooring, and an AGA. There are double doors to the patio and plenty of space for a family dining table. Bifold timber doors to another spacious sitting room at the back of the house offering splendid views over the garden.
A double-storey extension has been thoughtfully added to the side of the cottage, creating a versatile space that could serve as a self-contained annexe and includes a family room, utility room, a bedroom and a shower room. The first floor has five double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with a large en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes. The remaining bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom with a vaulted beamed ceiling.
Outside, the property is accessed via a gravel lane leading to a spacious parking area, with a barn-style garage. The garage has excellent ancillary accommodation, including a large living room/bedroom and en-suite shower room above. Below the garage, there are two covered bays for parking and an enclosed workshop, that could be used as a home office.
The grounds surrounding the cottage are a true highlight and make the most of the exceptional countryside views, featuring a beautiful paved terrace, a stunning pergola, and an outbuilding used as a gym. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by herbaceous borders and a well-stocked orchard, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor entertainment.
