Wonderful detached period property tucked away in a most picturesque village.

THE PROPERTY
Dating back to 1832 and tucked away near the heart of the most picturesque village of Rampisham, first glimpses of Knapp Cottage are most impressive, with very pretty rendered and stone facade under a pitched tiled roof.

On first entering this wonderful property there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with very well-proportioned and light rooms and immaculately presented accommodation.
Worth a special mention is the fantastic sitting room with a large inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove, and a lovely garden room overlooking the garden and village beyond. This would be a wonderful room to relax and enjoy the morning papers, or a summers evening. There is also a very good-sized ground floor bedroom and bathroom.

Also on the ground floor is a superb family kitchen which is surprisingly large for a property of this type, with a woodburning stove, window seats and plenty of room for a breakfast/dining table. Alongside the kitchen is also a utility room and a very good-sized dining room.

The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with three more beautiful bedrooms and a family bathroom. Like many rooms in the house, they boast spectacular views over the village and countryside beyond.

The delightful garden surrounds the house and is a utopia for children and animals, with a lawned area, well stocked borders, and a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining. There is also a small wooded area, plenty of parking and a separate garage.

All in all, this would make a wonderful primary or secondary home in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
