Charming home overlooking the cricket pitch in a quintessential English village.
Boundary Cottage is a charming home of brick elevations under a slate tile roof. It was constructed to an exacting standard in 2012 and designed to incorporate all the charm of a traditional house in keeping with the other properties in this beautiful village while taking full advantage of modern building techniques. It was extended by the current owners in 2018 to add the family room, boot room and study to create a property which works well for family life in this semi rural setting. It is energy efficient, being double glazed throughout and centrally heated using an air source heat pump. The rooms are light and airy and it is beautifully presented.
The sitting room is double aspect and overlooks the front garden with views over the cricket pitch. It has oak flooring and an open fireplace housing a log burning stove. To the rear of the property is a vaulted family room which opens to the fabulous kitchen and dining room. This is a large open plan area with tiled floor and double doors opening to the garden terrace. The well equipped kitchen has a range of painted floor units and a large central island with breakfast area. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, microwave and Aga under a canopy housing an extractor. There is ample space for this to be the heart of the home with room for a dining table and sitting area. From the kitchen there is a rear lobby housing the boot room with front and rear access, off which is the utility and study. A ground floor shower room is a useful addition should the study be used as a fifth bedroom.
To the first floor the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with separate shower and stairs to a second floor attic dressing room. There are three further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a shower room and family bathroom.

The property is accessed from the lane via a pedestrian gate opening to the delightful front garden and lavender lined path leading the front door. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with borders planted with a variety of shrubs and perennials. To one side a mature tree provides shade for the generous gravel parking area. To the rear a terrace runs the length of the house and is accessed from the dining room and boot room. This overlooks the private rear lawn, landscaped borders and further sunny terrace which provides an outdoor dining space and a covered raised shelter which is open to two sides, the perfect place to entertain and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
