Two dwellings - A beautiful cottage, spacious annexe and pool overlooking fields to the rear.
Swan Cottage is a rare example of a grade II listed medieval open hall arranged over two floors with the additional benefit of separate annexe and office , and is set in pretty gardens affording views to the rear across open countryside. The property was dendrochronologically dated as part of the Charlwood project and is documented to have been built around 1460 with the insertion of the first floor believed to be between 1541 and 1571. The annexe was built in 2019 and is located at the rear of the property and incorporates the garage.
In the original cottage there are a number of fabulous feature details that include the original living room with inglenook fireplace that retains part of the original seat and bread oven and now has a modern wood burning stove. The kitchen has a range of modern hand built units with stone worktops. The bathroom is fitted with white contemporary suite and has a fabulous flagstone floor. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The main bedroom has a feature fireplace with wood burning stove and both bedrooms have substantial oak floorboards.
The annexe is arranged to provide further accommodation of about 1017 Sq ft over two floors. On the ground floor there is a triple aspect living room, bedroom and modern shower room. On the first floor there is a good sized double bedroom.
On the outside there is gated off street parking for a number of vehicles The gardens are mature and beautifully maintained with a terrace, swimming pool, and a stunning rural view out over the rear boundary.

I love the charm and character of this beautiful historic home. The modern annexe allows it to be used as a practical family home.
