**Description**
Maple Leaf Cottage is a detached period house built of local stone under a
clay tile roof. It has been extended and modified by the owners over the last
30 years, whilst very recently they have added a beautiful orangery, opening
the
house into the garden. An arched double door leads through the porch into the
welcoming reception hall. In the centre of the house
is the large double aspect dining room with a feature fireplace, wooden floor
and double doors leading through to the living room, again with a double
aspect and feature fireplace. On the other side of the hall is the
kitchen/breakfast room with solid oak cabinets and granite worksurfaces. An
aga sits in the old fireplace and an arch leads through to the breakfast room
and utility/
cloak room at the back of the house. Off the kitchen is the stylish timber
orangery with double doors onto the garden, creating delightful living and
entertaining space in all weathers, with tiled floors throughout. A staircase
leads up from the dining room to the first floor. The principal bedroom has an
en suite bath/shower room
and double doors lead out onto a terrace overlooking the rear garden, an
excellent place to enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine. There are three
further bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with roll top bath and
separate
shower cubicle.
The gardens are lovely, comprising well maintained lawns to the side and rear
of the house with a selection of mature trees and attractive shrubs. At the
front of the house, accessed off the orangery, is a level patio enclosed by a
low stone wall, making a lovely al fresco dining area. The drive leads past
the house with parking for several cars and up to the garage at the far side
of the house, incorporating a recently converted home office.
**Situation**
The property is situated in the picturesque village of Stanton Drew, a popular
village situated within the heart of Chew Valley, which recently featured in
the Sunday Times best places to live in 2023. Within the village, there is a
small range of local facilities including a primary school (Ofsted
outstanding), a public house, a church and
village hall. The village is also famous for its stone circles. These ancient
monuments date from 3000 – 2000 bc and display the second largest stone circle
in Britain. The neighbouring village of Chew Magna has a good range of local
shops including a well - stocked supermarket, master butcher, coffee shop, gift
shops, post office and a pharmacy. There are also four excellent public houses
within easy ‘dog walking’ distance.
