Description
Spinney Cottage is a delightful cottage of enormous character fitting within the village vernacular. The property was originally part of the Hardwick Estate as a game lodge and believed to have been built in the Edwardian period. The property is constructed from timber under pitched roofs with a charming verandah at the front of the property. The cottage has been finished to a high standard throughout with 21st century conveniences including; underfloor heating on the ground floor and bathrooms, high quality sanitary ware and double glazed windows.
The ground floor accommodation offers light and airy reception rooms with oak & tiled floors and French doors that lead out onto the terrace and mature gardens, abutted by the surrounding countryside. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall which leads through to the sitting room, hallway and kitchen beyond. The sitting room is a well proportioned room with a bay window over the front of the property and benefits from a wood burning stove. The dining room is a lovely entertaining space and has exquisite stretched fabric walling in the French manner.
The bespoke kitchen has a tiled floor, base and wall mounted units and a large island unit with a Corian worktop as well as three sets of French doors out onto a secluded terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. The laundry is off the hallway with cloakroom. The study and dining room are off the inner hallway along with the staircase which rises to the first floor.

Annexe
The two storey annexe is a fabulous, generously proportioned space accessed separately from the main house through a linked area. Designed as a garden pavilion with sail storage on the first floor, it was adapted and linked to the existing house. It has most recently been used by the current owner, working from home. It is finished to plasterboard, with surface fix power & lighting – just ready to finish. The annexe is fitted with high levels of insulation and remotely controlled zoned underfloor heating to oak engineered flooring.
