Nestled on a charming private road and exuding timeless elegance, this exceptional three-bedroom character cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history. Originally constructed in 1938 as accommodation for the estate's esteemed butler/chauffeur, this stunning property is now coming to the market for the first time in almost four decades.
As you approach the property, you are greeted by a picturesque landscape of fields and mature trees, creating a tranquil and idyllic setting. The entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home, providing ample space for coats and storage under the stairs.
The interior of the cottage is a delightful blend of classic design elements and modern comforts. The sitting room features a captivating feature fireplace and tudor style windows that frame the views of the garden, while the dining room offers a generous space with wooden floors and a seamless flow into the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is a culinary haven, boasting fitted shaker style wall and base units, ample storage, space for freestanding appliances, and a charming stable door that opens onto the garden. A separate utility space offers additional storage and appliance space and houses the boiler, adding to the practicality of the home.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms offer picturesque vistas of the surrounding countryside, while a third single bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes, provides a cosy retreat. The family bathroom, adorned with a three-piece suite including a bath with shower over, basin, and WC, promises relaxation and tranquillity.
Outside, the mature, professionally landscaped, garden envelops the property, providing a serene escape with hidden paths meandering through colourful shrubbery and a spacious patio area ideal for al fresco entertaining. The secluded surroundings, shielded by high walls, trees, and hedgerows, offer an oasis of privacy, allowing residents to revel in the stunning views of the adjacent fields, grazing sheep and onwards to the vineyards of the estate.
A generous gravelled driveway leads to the walled garden entrance of the cottage and access to the double detached garage. History and character intertwine seamlessly in this superb country cottage, making it a truly exceptional living experience for those seeking a timeless retreat with modern conveniences.
