At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal.  To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool.  This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home.

DESCRIPTION A beautiful detached grade II listed period cottage of substantial proportions that has been lovingly renovated and updated in the last 25 years by the present owners. Throughout the home it is clear that no expense has been spared with many bespoke fixtures and finishes found throughout the house. The accommodation sympathetically blends period character with contemporary features all of which is complimented by the quite stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thatched Cottage is quite simply one of those homes you fall in love with. Whilst the main house provides generous living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, a snug or garden room, utility room and a stunning kitchen/ breakfast room there is also a good size self contained annex that can just as easily be separate accommodation, as it can be integrated within the house. The annex is ideal for those who those who work from home or may wish to earn additional income from letting or Air BnB. STEP INSIDE The large Oak front door opens into a charming, good size dining room which is double aspect to the front and rear. The flagstone floor sets off the room together with the beams and in particular the large cast iron cooking stove that is set into the chimney breast. This is a great room for entertaining friends and family. Doors open into the snug/garden room which is majority glazed with exposed flint and red brick walls, slate floor and amazing views down the garden and the valley beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has been hand built with a mix of Walnut and Maple units and slate and timber worktops with inset sink, a designer glass prep sink, numerous integrated appliances including two ovens, a microwave, five burner hob, cooker hood, two fridges, a wine fridge, coffee maker and a dishwasher. Bespoke double glazed doors and windows open across the back of the kitchen onto the vast veranda. Throughout the year this brings the outside into the house. A side hallway leads to the utility room and cloakroom. There is a door into the garden and a door opens into the Annex which we'll come to later in the description. At the other end of the cottage, off the dining room, is a further hallway with Oak panelling and windows to the front, off which is a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. The living room is a particular feature of the home. It is full of character being heavily beamed with a large red brick fireplace and chimney breast at one end with a wood burning stove. There are windows to both the front and rear together with French windows opening onto the garden. A rear lobby has a door to the garden and stairs rise to the first floor. Upstairs the master bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers and a door through to a good size en suite. In addition there is a further double bedroom and a single bedroom both of which benefit from bespoke fitted cupboards and bedroom furniture. THE ANNEX So often we see a self contained annex that is a disappointment. This is one that really impresses. There is a good size living room that is full of character with a vaulted ceiling and beams. There is a well fitted contemporary kitchen, a shower room with contemporary suite and a good size double bedroom, again with vaulted ceiling. One of the beauties of the annex is that whilst it is self contained, it can also so easily be brought into the accommodation for those with a larger family.
