About this property

  • Shiplake cottage is a beautiful home which has been remodeled and extended by the current owners to a very high specification. The owners have sourced the fixtures and fittings from around the world and spared no expense on the detail.
    The ground floor flows well with a full height hall with a bespoke oak staircase with floor to ceiling window. The flooring in the hall and snug is French limestone. The kitchen/dining room has been completely re-designed with a vaulted ceiling, solid wood bi-folding doors and a bespoke gas fire. The kitchen is from Neptune and has Italian Quartz worktops and herringbone oak flooring. There is a utility room with Neptune fittings and a stable door.
    Leading off the hall is the sitting room and a study.
    On the first floor there is vaulted master bedroom with a picture window overlooking the garden. The en-suite bathroom features a Lusso Stone bath and walk in shower. There are two further double bedrooms and a shower room with a basalt feature basin from LivingRoc.
