‘Aspirational Homes’ from Magenta Estate Agents present Longwood Cottage, a stone-built Victorian abode cocooned in peace and tranquillity dating back to 1850. The present owners have embraced the contemporary aesthetic whilst retaining the beautiful period features which afford the cottage its charm and enduring appeal.
ACCOMMODATION
Embrace the period charm the moment you step into the entrance hall. The beautiful wooden flooring continues to stand the test of time, complemented by the expertly crafted staircase which features an elegant, turned volute newel post, turned spindles and handrail rising to the landing. Beneath the staircase there is room for a hallway seat where you can sit and remove your shoes after enjoying one of the many walks on offer in the village.
An inviting space, the LIVING ROOM affords classic period style with a stunning cast-iron and tile fireplace at its heart. Either side of the fireplace are recesses which house a cupboard and shelving ideal for displaying family photos or books. Bathing the room in natural light, is the walk-in bay window with leaded glass. Across the hall from the living room, is the STUDY, a place to inspire and refuel those creative juices while enjoying an abundance of period features: exposed stone walling and wooden beams, solid wood flooring; and a leaded window which often brings you up-close with wildlife.
Stepping into the INNER HALL you will be delighted to discover the original Victorian quarry-tiled floor. From here, steps descend to the kitchen and to the UTILITY ROOM which is fitted with a range of units with oak worktop and inset sink. There is room for your washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an spacious storage cupboard.
With authentic period styling, the SHOWER ROOM is fitted with traditional sanitaryware including a ‘Burlington’ basin with chrome washstand and WC. Take an invigorating shower in the roomy shower enclosure with ‘Burlington’ thermostatic shower and ‘rain’ shower head. Built-in cupboards house the ‘Ideal’ boiler and hot-water cylinder.
Comfort and style combine in the spacious DINING ROOM. Crisp white walls, coving and skirting boards allow the beautiful wooden flooring to take centre stage. There is also the benefit of a built-in cupboard. From the dining room, steps descend to the superlative KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM with its soaring ceiling and abundance of natural light. The Shaker styling of the fitted kitchen cabinets lends the kitchen a timeless elegance, the polished appearance of the white quartz work surfaces, the perfect marriage. As well as a quartz-topped breakfast bar to perch at with a cup of tea or coffee, there are also a double bowl ceramic ‘Belfast’ sink, integrated dishwasher, space for range cooker with two extractor fans over, space for fridge/freezer and pull-out recycle bin drawer. The contemporary aesthetic sits comfortably alongside the open fireplace with exposed brick reveal, and the part original, part reclaimed quarry-tiled floor. French doors open out to the rear garden.
The light and airy landing features a beautiful wooden balustrade and exposed ceiling and lintel beams. The MASTER BEDROOM enjoys a classic, calming décor with accent painted wall panelling and built-in cupboard beneath the window. BEDROOM TWO is a fresh, bright double bedroom with access to the partially boarded loft space. With a superb view of the local church, BEDROOM THREE is a firm favourite to wake up in! Perfect for a nursery, BEDROOM FOUR is the epitome of cosiness. Adjacent to this bedroom is a large, walk-in storage cupboard. The final room off the landing the vendors fondly refer to as ‘The Den’ – an informal, multi-functional space where the family can play games, listen to music, watch TV. Alternatively, this room could be utilised as a dressing room as it affords access to the FAMIILY BATHROOM, the centrepiece of which is the original ‘ball and claw’ roll-top bath with original taps, complemented by a ‘Burlington’ basin and WC, shower enclosure with period-style shower, white wall tiling and traditional radiator.
OUTSIDE
Set well back from the road behind stone walling with feature ball finials, and offering both gated pedestrian and vehicular access, the blissfully peaceful front garden comprises a large, gravelled driveway providing ample parking, and shaped lawns; a magnificent ornamental magnolia tree delights the eye.
Perfectly proportioned, the rear garden enjoys a paved patio spanning the width of the cottage and large enough to accommodate a table and chairs for entertaining. To the rear corner of the garden, is a majestic tree which casts a dappled shade over the patio beneath, an idyllic retreat from hot summer sunshine. Looking back at the property, the stone wall to the left mirrors the creamy stone of the cottage, the remainder of the garden being enclosed by timber fencing. Further benefits include a shed and log store, wall lighting and a water tap.
