Description
Set within a generous 0.59 acre plot, April Cottage is an Arts and Crafts style home full of character and listed as a house of ‘Townscape Merit’.
Approached through electric gates onto a long gravel driveway, you enter the property via an archway which brings you into a large courtyard. The house is surrounded on all sides by delightful mature gardens. Built in the 1920’s, this charming family home has many features which predate this era with reclaimed period materials such as old Sussex roof tiles, an enormous oak front door, oak floors, eyebrow windows, period fireplaces and beams.
The house is entered through the magnificent front door into a light and spacious oak-floored entrance hallway. The ground floor accommodation includes a large drawing room with working fireplace which leads through to a stunning west-facing Amdega conservatory with tiled floor overlooking a delightful walled garden with sunken pool and decking.
From here you step down into the breakfast room which benefits from double doors out to the patio and outdoor kitchen area and is open plan to the kitchen. The kitchen is characterised by beautiful flagstone flooring, a vaulted ceiling at one end and wooden beams. White shaker style units and wooden worktops compliment a large Britannia range oven adjacent to which is a built-in deep fat fryer. A utility room and cloakroom located off the kitchen with a useful external door as well as a guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.
The delightful reception room sits in the heart of the home and is a truly remarkable space with wooden flooring, a beamed ceiling and fabulous working fireplace. The far wall benefits from floor to ceiling fitted cupboards and shelving and two sets of double doors open out to the front of the property as well as a door to the rear proving beautiful views on both sides.
The first floor offers an impressive principal bedroom with en suite and dressing room. There are three further bedrooms and two further bathrooms on this floor.
The property also includes an attached annexe/cottage with sitting room, study, bedroom, bathroom and storage room. It features a beautiful spiral staircase, fireplace and oak wood flooring with double doors leading out to a terrace.
