A charming cottage set in about 3.41 acres
The Limes is a charming semi-detached cottage dating back to the 1800s, thoughtfully extended in 2019 to create an exceptional blend of character and contemporary living.
Retaining its original period features, including exposed beams, the property offers a wealth of charm complemented by stylish, modern finishes throughout.
The original part of the house comprises a spacious entrance hall, a generous music/cinema room with access to a walled courtyard garden, a large utility room, and a dedicated home office. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a fourth room currently used as a dressing room, along with both a bathroom and a separate shower room.
The striking modern extension was completed in 2019 and now offers a superb open plan living space incorporating a reception area, dining room, and kitchen enhanced by underfloor heating and wraparound bifold doors that open directly to the garden. A large walk-in pantry provides excellent storage, and a new boiler was also installed in 2018.
The property sits within approximately 3.41 acres and is approached via a shingle drive leading to a generous parking area, complete with electric car charging point. The gardens include a wealth of features such as a walled courtyard, pond, kitchen garden, fruit trees including mulberry, fig and apple, and ornamental planting including wisteria, roses, and a curly hazel. The adjoining field, extending to around 2.5 acres, is currently a wild meadow but has previously been used as paddocks.
A range of useful outbuildings complete this property, including a cart shed, workshop, two greenhouses, and a garden shed.

What stood this property out to me is the modern extension perfectly designed to make the most of the beautiful gardens. It was lovely to open all the bifold doors to bring the outside in.
