5 bedroom country house

This wonderful detached cottage features two reception rooms, an extended country kitchen diner with central AGA, five/six great bedrooms, a fantastic mezzane dressing room and a further family bathroom suite. The property also boasts a fantastic cellar and separate outbuilding - akin to a double garage/carport - and useful guest suite accommodation above or perfect AirBnB space. The good size grounds extend to a large lawned area with shingled drive space cleverly hidden behind electric gates.

STEP INSIDE:
Step through the front door into a wonderfully spacious dining hall where history greets you with exposed overhead beams, Indian sandstone flooring and beautiful latch and brace inner doors. Continue straight ahead where, immediately in front of you, you are greeted by an impressive farmhouse style kitchen which is a particularly light room featuring a large bay window with window seat. The farmhouse style kitchen also benefits from attractive quarry tiled floor and a four oven AGA.

Off the Kitchen area is a fantastic laundry room with great space for the usual free standing laundry products and a wonderful laundry shoot hatch. Next to the laundry room is a typical two piece cloakroom with latch and brace doors and finally off the kitchen is a very attractive stable door leading out onto the impressive garden.

SITTING ROOM:
The sitting room is a particularly good size - formally two parts of two cottages - with many character features including exposed ceiling timbers and a glorious inglenook stone fireplace. There are windows on both elevations as well as French doors leading out onto the garden complete with what is believed to be the original stone base sink (a particular highlight for the sellers). There are two internal doors in the sitting room with the first door leading down into the wine cellar which could easily be used as small home gym. The second door leads up to the first floor.

UPSTAIRS:
On the first floor are FOUR bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly large with a high ceiling featuring exposed beams and a useful Mezzanine space currently being used as a dressing room. Off the master bedroom is a large bathroom en suite which also has an airing cupboard and lots of linen storage space. There is a further room on the second floor which opens up into a spacious bedroom with stunning views over the Welland Valley countryside and beyond.

OUTSIDE:
Located behind electric gates sits the off road area and hardstanding for refuse bins. The garden opens up and offers a southerly aspect - perfect for all day sunshine - along with a large expanse of lawn and access into the outbuilding.

OUTBUILDING:
A detached double garage/carport, featuring a workspace area, and is currently used for storage. Above the ground floor space is the perfect guest accommodation which a large bedroom space and separate WC perfect for those family parties!

Why not consider the possibility of applying for planning permission to convert this building into a seperate dwelling or full time AirBnB rental?

AGENT NOTE: The front part of the property will need require a re-thatch soon and due to the demand of a specialist thatcher (in some cases 2-3 year wait!), the current owners have a pre-booking in place to be thatched next year should the new owner wish to continue with the booking.
