impression. This valuable feature offers parking for multiple cars as well as
accommodating guests.
With over 10, 000 sq ft of accommodation including _six spacious bedrooms, _
Thatched Cottage is a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and
stylish home, and also offers fantastic potential for those seeking
duel/multi - generational living. Whether you are in need of a private space for
a family member or a live - in nanny, this home can easily accommodate your
requirements.
_Entrance_
This magnificent home greets you with soaring high ceilings and the majestic
grandeur of the sweeping staircase and you are taken by the abundance of
natural light that fills every room. Sunlight pours through the windows,
illuminating every corner and casting a warm, inviting glow over the entire
space.
The huge floor - to - ceiling window with double doors to the garden is a striking
architectural feature providing a connection to the outdoor environment. The
working open fire which shares this space adds warmth and coziness to this
expansive entrance. A grand piano sits proudly beneath the stairs enjoying
views of the fire and gardens, creating a sense of harmony and beauty. There
are surprises and unique features that make this property exciting to explore,
and a sense of luxury and comfort that is truly memorable.
Whether you’re lounging in the formal _sitting room, _ preparing meals in the
large _kitchen diner_ which has a _snug room_ attached, or resting in one of
the _six spacious bedrooms_ , you’ll be surrounded by this same sense of light
and openness. It’s a feeling that’s truly transformative and one that you’ll
carry with you long after you’ve left this remarkable home.
Perhaps it is the clever design, which seamlessly blends together different
areas of the house to create a sense of continuity and flow. Or maybe it is
the warm, welcoming atmosphere, which makes you feel right at home no matter
where you are in the house.
Whatever the reason, you’ll find yourself moving effortlessly from room to
room, admiring the intricate details and unique touches that make each space
feel special and inviting.
Having a _basement_ provides fantastic additional space away from the main
accommodation. The _family room_ could easily be converted into the perfect
_cinema_ or _snooker room_ , or perhaps a huge _play/ games room_ with doors
out to the garden. This would make the ultimate entertainment zone, perfect
for entertaining family and guests or simply to keep the children busy in
school holidays. The _basement_ also offers a large _laundry room_ , a really
handy walk - in _store room, _ and a _wine room. _
There are cosy corners for curling up with a good book, expansive halls for
hosting grand gatherings, and peaceful retreats for quiet contemplation.
_Kitchen_
The open - plan _living dining breakfast kitchen_ is a big highlight and offers
plenty of space for cooking and dining. It is easy to imagine a busy
school/workday with the family gathered around the island enjoying breakfast
together before the mad rush. The island itself offers a great space for meal
preparation and entertaining and a valuable feature for those who like to
gather and socialise in the _kitchen. _
Being the hub of the home, it’s a great area that will accommodate the needs
of all members of the household. This can be a major advantage for those with
children or who frequently entertain guests.
The _snug room_ is a natural walk - through from the _kitchen_ area. It is a
cosy and comfortable space enjoying a working open fireplace. It is a perfect
setting for relaxing and unwinding and a room for those who value a homey
atmosphere and enjoy spending time indoors.
The two rooms combined are incredibly functional and an advantage to those who
like practicality and efficiency in their home’s layout.
_Swimming pool and leisure suite_
For those who like to entertain, the house is an absolute dream come true.
With its amazing _indoor swimming pool_ , changing facilities and shower, you
can easily take a dip and then freshen up without ever having to leave your
private premises. Doors in the _pool room_ offer seamless indoor - outdoor
living, connecting you to the stunning gardens and patio area. With ample
space for many people, you can entertain guests and loved ones with ease,
creating memories that will last a lifetime.
_Formal sitting rooms_
The _three reception rooms_ on the ground floor are grand and luxurious. The
large open fireplaces that furnish two of the rooms and the high ceilings
create a sense of elegance and warmth. The large windows and doors leading
directly out to the gardens provide beautiful views and an abundance of
natural light. These rooms can provide many different uses and are great
spaces for both entertaining and relaxation.
_First floor_
The beautiful, large landing area is bathed in light from the floor to ceiling
windows next to the staircase. Soft furnishings add luxurious touches to the
vast space and the owners speak fondly of memories they have of their children
racing up and down the halls and the enjoyment and entertainment these spaces
once provided their family when growing up.
_Master bedroom_
The _master bedroom_ is impressive in size and exudes elegance and warmth. The
room is filled with tasteful furnishings and offers a separate _dressing room_
complete with floor - to - ceiling wardrobes and _en - suite_ with a shower and
freestanding roll top bath.
There are _three_ further _double bedrooms, _ including a _guest bedroom_ with
fitted wardrobes and a _full en - suite_ comprising a four - piece suite. There is
an additional _family bathroom_ and a separate _shower room. _
All of the bedrooms are spacious and light with decorous furnishings and
beautiful views of the gardens.
_Second floor_
With the added benefit of a second staircase giving access to the top floor,
which is just as beautiful in presentation and appearance as the rest of the
house, this floor could easily be used as an _annexe_ for multi - generational
living or as separate accommodation for an au - pair or carer.
With _two double bedrooms_ and a four - piece _bathroom_ , it has been suggested
that the largest bedroom 18’10” x 16’7” could be used as a _living room. _
_the gardens_
The gardens of approximately two acres are a haven of peace and tranquillity.
Offering complete privacy and separated into many zones, each one more
fabulous than the last. Whether you’re an avid gardener or simply appreciate
the beauty of nature, this garden is sure to delight and inspire you. From
towering trees to fragrant blooms, you’ll find yourself lost in a world of
natural beauty. It’s easy to imagine entertaining guests on a warm summer
evening, savouring a delicious meal while surrounded by the beauty of your own
private oasis. The large patio is perfect for summer barbecues and
entertaining guests and family.
_Conclusion_
It’s this unique combination of versatility and comfort that makes this
property truly special. No matter who you are or what your needs may be,
you’ll find that this house has something to offer. It is a home that’s sure
to capture your heart and leave you feeling inspired and energised.
_The village_
The village is peaceful and very pretty. There is a public house ‘The Axe and
Compass’ which is a great favourite with the locals and serves traditional
British pub food.
The pub is situated in a thatched 15th - century house and enjoys picturesque
views of the surrounding area from its garden. The ‘Axe and Compass’ is also
dog friendly, which will be much - welcomed news for anyone who enjoys a spot of
pub lunch after a dog walk or just a great place for meeting other members of
the community.
_Viewing arrangements_
By appointment only. Call or text during or after office hours.
_Remote viewing tour: _
Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the
right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated,
juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if
moving into a new area and traveling some distance.
_Booking a Remote Viewing Tour_ puts you firmly in control. Arrange a day and
time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my
client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you
around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick
or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on
the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to
arrange a normal viewing at a later date.
