Catching the eye as one of the most stunning cottages along Cockington Lane, Meadow Thatch sits behind ornate stonework walls and wooden gates. You will be immediately struck by the traditional thatched roof, as well as the delicate green window frames reflecting the surrounding gardens. On foot, you can access the property via the gates and enter the spacious courtyard, made up of gravel and a slate path. Vehicle access is available a little further down, crossing a charming bridge over the picturesque stream which runs alongside the property. This leads to the detached garage block, which is shared with cottages nearby. The garage belonging to Meadow Thatch is the nearest to the property. Complementing this already impressive frontage is the lush green lawn, which is bordered by mature trees and shrubs.
The wooden stable door invites you into the property, which greets you with a superb wooden floor, dark wood door fronts and magnificent beams. A shower room is on your right, a luxurious space with mosaic tiles leading to the spacious shower. A marble sink sits adjacent, with a white WC beside.
Opposite the shower room is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room. A stone tiled floor leads you into the space, which boasts country cream cupboard fronts and wooden worktops, which is punctuated by a fantastic Belfast sink and finished with a breakfast bar area, providing seating for two. A remarkable Range cooker is the focal point of the room, competing for your attention with the sloped ceilings and wooden beams. The views from the kitchen windows are just as spectacular, with trees, shrubs and nature in every direction. Adjacent to the kitchen is the spacious utility room, which also benefits from the stone tile flooring and further cream units. The space offers plenty of storage and another brilliant Belfast sink.
The rear garden is accessible through the utility room. A true haven of tranquility, the garden is surrounded by towering trees. A petite gate leads to a further spacious lawned area, fully enclosed by a wonderful variety of trees, ideal for relaxing in the peaceful countryside and listening to the birds and the murmuring of the nearby stream.
The largest of the three bedrooms is located adjacent to the kitchen, at the front of the property. An incredible space, with oak beams adorning the ceiling and two wide windows allowing plenty of natural light through. A plush grey carpet complements the neutral décor, creating a haven of relaxation.
Across the hall you will find the sitting room, boasting beautiful wooden flooring which reflects the oak beams above. Two large windows flood the room with light, and an impressive electrically operated stove provides the focal point in the room. A single step elevates you to the dining area, an entrance which is framed by splendid stonework. The dining room enjoys an attractive sloped ceiling, and French doors open out to the serene garden.
The stairs spiral up to a spacious first floor landing, which offers handy built in storage. You will first find the bathroom, a relaxing space decorated in neutral mosaic tiles and boasting a sloped ceiling and wooden beams. A white WC and basin are joined by a full-size bath with adjustable shower above.
The remaining two bedrooms sit at either side of the first floor. To the right is an expansive room with a sloped ceiling to one side, wooden beams and a plush grey carpet, with white décor. To the left is a similarly sized bedroom, also sharing the attractive sloped ceilings, wooden beams and neutral style.
