Description:
Briar Cottage is the ideal family village home, full of character and light with well-balanced and flexible accommodation laid out over two floors. Built by the current owners in 2005 and extended in 2011, the property offers superb living and entertaining space throughout with the added bonus of an exceptional open plan kitchen/diner/sitting room with oak double aspect tri-fold and bi-fold doors opening to the garden, bringing the outside into the house. The kitchen is very well fitted with a Rangemaster electric cooking range with induction hob, built in combi oven, warming drawer and dishwasher, granite work surfaces and central island with ceramic sink with waste disposal unit "to make live easier". There is also a utility room with a butler's sink and space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer, additional dishwasher and upright fridge and freezer. Leading from the utility room is a spacious walk-in pantry. Three further reception rooms, one with an open fire with antique surround, add to the flexible ground floor living space along with a separate cloakroom and useful entrance lobby. A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first floor, and accessed from a lovely galleried landing through hand made oak doors, are four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, two being en-suite. The layout has been thoughtfully designed throughout making the best use of space and light with pleasant character features and attention to detail including Philips Hue controlled lighting inside and out.
Outside:
The property is approached via a gravelled in-and-out driveway providing parking for a number of cars. A side gate leads round to the delightfully secluded lawned, predominantly south-facing rear gardens. There is a paved terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining and relaxation and a green house/summer house in the corner of the lawn, perfect for enjoying the evening sun. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with established flower and shrub borders, mature hedges and trees with an ornamental pond and tucked-away kitchen garden with large potting shed and wood store. A spacious chalet type shed would convert to a home office or be the perfect place to put a bespoke home-office/studio (stp). The heating controls and boiler are located in a workshop to the side of the property.
