Description
Nestled in the beautiful hamlet of North Dean this picturesque Grade II listed cottage is believed to date back to about the 18th century with later additions. The property is brimming with character features and expertly combines rustic, original features with modern living.
The current owners have sympathetically restored the adjoining thatched barn cleverly incorporating it in to the cottage. On the ground floor the reception space is generous and characterful, with both the dining hall and adjacent sitting room featuring exposed beams and fireplaces. The vaulted, open plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home and perfect for family life. The kitchen is well equipped with an excellent range of units, complemented by a mix of granite and timber worktops. There is a cast iron stove, integrated dishwasher and space for further appliances. French doors frame lovely views over the garden and opens the entire space on to the garden. Retaining an array of historic, exposed beams the drawing room is an impressive, vaulted space with full height shuttered windows flooding the room with natural light. Stairs from the drawing room lead up to a stunning galleried landing/bedroom and at the far end of the drawing room is a useful ground floor bedroom and en suite bathroom. There is underfloor heating in many of the rooms.
There are two further delightful bedrooms on the first floor, both enjoying a dual aspect inviting lovely far reaching views. The principal bedroom benefits from a well appointed bathroom and a dressing room.
Approached along a pretty, leafy lane The Cottage enjoys a quintessential village setting with delightful countryside views. Set behind a dwarf brick wall this picturesque property is surrounded by gardens affording a lovely backdrop to the house. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with seating areas providing ideal space for entertaining friends and family. Further highlights include an ornamental pond and a summer house. A gravelled driveway provides ample off street parking.
