Handsome period house in much sought after village.
Malahide Cottage is a handsome, detached period house of Hornton stone construction, which has been considerably improved by the current vendors. It provides versatile accommodation, which is presented to a high standard and includes a wealth of period features. It offers a rare opportunity in a much sought-after village, on a quiet no through road.
The ground floor includes a charming drawing room featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and oak floor. A separate sitting room provides further living space with an exposed stone feature wall and wood-burning stove.
Leading off the sitting room is an impressive kitchen / dining room, which provides open-plan living with the garden room. This creates a lovely, versatile space with doors into the garden. The kitchen includes a range of in-built units with wooden surfaces, Belfast sink and Rayburn. To the rear of the kitchen is a useful utility room with Belfast sink, wooden worktop, back door and spiral staircase. There is also a ground floor shower room.
Accessed via two separate staircases, the first floor provides a generous principal dual aspect bedroom, with in-built wardrobes, three further bedrooms, a fifth bedroom / study and a generous family bathroom.
The property benefits from a gravel off-street parking space and an enclosed, landscaped garden with attractive outlook. This provides an ideal spot to unwind and entertain, with a gravel terrace with raised beds, a generous level lawn and flower beds. There is also a useful brick outbuilding.

I love the feel of this characterful house. Set in one of my favourite villages, it offers a deceptive amount of accommodation, which is beautifully presented.
