Description
Christmas Cottage is a wonderful stone and tiled detached home, exuding character throughout and located on the northern edge of Northchapel. The property enjoys superb far-reaching views across adjoining farmland to Blackdown from its lovely gardens and from many of its rooms. It is a very well presented home throughout and has been maintained and enhanced during our client’s ownership with the gardens being a notable feature too.
On entering the property there is a lobby with cloakroom to one side and a welcoming entrance hall. The sitting has exposed timbers and incorporates a fabulous inglenook fireplace complete with a charming bread oven providing an immensely characterful space. An adjoining living room, also with exposed beams enjoys a two-way woodburning stove into the kitchen too. The receptions have openings on to the gardens and views beyond and a centrepiece of the home is the lovely and well-proportioned kitchen, with its integrated and concealed appliances, abundance of storage and comfortable dining for extended families.
The first floor has four bedrooms, the principal with three aspects over the grounds with the benefit of built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The three remaining bedrooms also have built-in wardrobes and are served by a wonderful, and recently installed family bathroom enjoying the far-reaching views.
Outside, the cottage is accessed from a gravelled and gated driveway that leads to a parking area and a double garage. The gardens are of particular note with extensive planting providing colour and interest with mature trees offering shade over the west facing lawns. A stream runs from the north following the edge of the garden leading to an attractive pond. A terrace surrounds the property providing a wonderful spot to enjoy the exceptional views across open farmland to Blackdown beyond.
The double garage offers further potential with a versatile space above, already containing skylights and double doors to the ground floor, such that subject to obtaining any necessary consents, could provide work from home or ancillary opportunities. Within the garden are two outbuildings - a useful garden shed and an attractive summerhouse backing onto beautiful woodland, perfect for enjoying the sunsets.
