4 bedroom cottage for sale

Sitting proudly within the popular village of Wicklewood is Rattle Row House, a property that is packed filled with character and charm, but at the same time lends itself to the modern needs expected in a home of this elk.

The property is accessed from the rear, through a small brick-built porch, leading us into the beautiful kitchen/dining room. Beams gently divide the kitchen from the dining room, where there is enough space for a large table. The kitchen itself is a handcrafted Brian Turner kitchen, crafted in a classic timeless shaker style. The large red AGA adds colour, and the wonderful Pamment tiles show the true age of the property.

Stepping through into the large sitting room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the large inglenook fireplace, with evidence of historic marks on the large wooden beam above. There are little enclaves for candles and lights, which may have been where the historic bread oven once stood. To the right is evidence of historical writing from a time long ago - the exact origin of which remains a mystery.

This room is a fantastic place to sit no matter the weather, but really comes into its own on those long dark nights with the fire roaring a glass of your favourite tipple in hand; it's not hard to imagine spending many hours here.

Just off this room is the formal dining room, used for those special holiday moments, where you will find another large inglenook fireplace.

Ascending to the next floor, we find two large double bedrooms, again with stunning beams on every surface. The jewel on this floor has to be the family bathroom, with the claw foot bath on a small, raised section of the room, making it the star of the show. This is framed by yet another brick-built inglenook fireplace. The bathroom also features a shower with bespoke glass panels.

Arriving on the top floor via a choice of two staircases is a further two double bedrooms, the larger of the two having the brick-built chimney breast as its feature.

Outside and to the rear is a beautiful English cottage garden, with sections of lawns and flower beds filled with lovely flowers that are cleverly planted to come out throughout the warmer months.

This is a fantastic entertaining space, with a paved, slightly lowered section with an outdoor bar area to one side, and a more permanent structure with a solid tiled roof, meaning the enjoyment of this wonderful garden can continue no matter what the English weather throws at us.

To the front of the property, there is a lawned area hidden behind a large hedge, and a space for those who want to grow their own fruit and vegetables. The lawn wraps around the property and leads onto the shingled driveway with parking for several cars. The property also benefits from a brick-built garage, workshop, and log-store.
