The cottage
Lying to one end of the entrance drive is the substantial and beautifully
presented detached cottage which provides well - arranged secondary
accommodation for extended family, guests or staff. From the entrance hall a
door leads through into the large vaulted double - height sitting room/dining
room which has two sets of glazed doors leading out to the garden. Adjacent to
this room is the well - appointed kitchen which has an oven, hob and microwave.
Also arranged over the ground floor is the principal bedroom with ensuite
shower room, the second bedroom and a family bathroom. A third bedroom on the
first floor completes the accommodation within the cottage. Attached to one
end of the cottage is a single garage.
Immediately to the east of the cottage is a wide paved seating area, beyond
which is the cottage's garden which is laid principally to lawn, bordered by
various well - stocked beds.

Lower Burrells is approached from the
minor country lane through a wooden five - bar entrance gate which leads through
into the property's entrance drive leading down to a wide brick paved parking
area, to one end of which is the cottage. From the entrance drive a brick
paved path leads through the beautifully planted and landscaped garden to the
front door and climbing the front elevation of the house is a beautiful mature
wisteria.
The garden is a real feature of the property and is divided into a series of
outside 'rooms' with clipped hedges, low brick walls, various paved paths,
numerous well - stocked and colourful beds and some beautiful mature specimen
trees. Immediately adjacent to the western side of the house is a wide paved
seating area which is bordered by a lawn and a picturesque pond. To one side
of the lawn there is a brick, weatherboard and tile summerhouse/studio with
light, power and heating. To the rear of the house and adjacent to the
conservatory is a further wide paved seating area, situated a short distance
from which is an attractive brick and tile garden store/workshop, with a
garden machinery store beyond.
Located beyond the cottage’s garden is the all - weather tennis court and to one
side of the tennis court there is a lawn with a greenhouse and further garden
store. To the far end of the lawn an opening leads through a hedge into the
kitchen garden. The gardens and grounds provide a very special and magical
setting for this stunning historic house.
