A charming period cottage with beautiful, landscaped gardens and countryside views
Description
Ivy Cottage is a charming period house with 17th century origins and later additions in the 1980’s and 90’s. It has been much improved by the current owners, including superb landscaping with mood lighting. Features include fine fireplaces, exposed timber frame and beams and flagstones to certain rooms.
The front door opens to the entrance hall with exposed timber frame, a find solid wood turning staircase and a door to a cloakroom WC.
The cosy sitting room has a fine inglenook working fireplace and leads through to a snug/study area with French doors to the terrace. At the opposite end of the house is a drawing room with oak floors, French doors to the frontage and a wood burning stove set on a flagstone hearth.
The dining room conveniently flows through to the kitchen which has a double Belfast sink and granite worktops, incorporating a breakfast bar. Appliances include an electric two-oven Aga, induction hob, Neff electric oven and dishwasher and a fridge. Off the kitchen is a fitted utility room with French doors to the rear terrace, a double Belfast sink, granite worktop and an integrated washing machine and separate tumble dryer and space for an American fridge freezer.
The main staircase rises to a galleried landing with traditional floorboards which continue through to a double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling. There is a single bedroom that has been fitted out as a dressing room with a range of built-in wardrobes. These bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom fitted with a range of fitted vanity cupboards with a composite marble top and a shower bath. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and French doors open to a balcony with a glass balustrade that offers wonderful countyside views.
The well-appointed en suite has a walk-in shower with a range of fitted vanity cupboards with a composite marble top and a door to a walk-in wardrobe. The guest bedroom is accessed via a staircase which rises from the drawing room directly into the bedroom which enjoys an en suite bathroom and a dedicated dressing area.
Electric gates open to gravel parking for several cars, whilst at the bottom of the garden are double entrance gates to additional gravel parking and a detached garage with a room above, that offers scope for conversion to ancillary accommodation or a home office, subject to obtaining any relevant consents.
The gardens, which are south and west facing, were beautifully landscaped in 2023 and offer views over the neighbouring countryside. Throughout the gardens are mature plants and trees including a majestic Sycamore tree and productive plum, pear and apple trees.
The south facing lawned garden includes a quaint summerhouse with power and light, along with a greenhouse and adjacent to the house is a paved terrace surrounded by trellis fencing.
The west facing landscaped terracing is multi-level with mature strategic planting and terraced seating areas, along with feature ponds and waterfall, mood lighting and various power points.
There are two useful timber garden sheds, one of which houses the boiler, and a concrete block storage shed at the side of the house.
Within the gardens is a hot tub with an automated cover and a traditional red telephone box and post box that are all available by separate negotiation.
