The Property

Built in 2010 by Border Oak and to a high specification, White House Farm Cottage blends traditional oak framed character with modern techniques to create a light, inviting home surrounded by open countryside. A double height entrance hall greets you, with exposed oak detail giving a wonderful sense of character, and the Travertine tiling (with underfloor heating) drawing the eye through to a warm sitting room off to the left, with a big brick built hearth and woodburner creating a focal point in the centre of the room, whilst the French doors to the rear look out over the garden. To the right of the entrance hall, a door leads through to the large kitchen dining room, with a well fitted kitchen including a Rangemaster oven, and useful island adding extra preparation surface. The dining area to the rear, which is big enough to have a settee or armchairs in addition to a dining table, has windows looking out over the gardens, and French doors to the side leading out to a terrace. Off the kitchen is a useful utility and boot room leading through to a cloakroom. To the first floor, the principal bedroom has spectacular views to the rear which can be enjoyed from a Juliet balcony. There is a useful dressing area, built in storage and a large en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The annexe, which is adjacent to White House Farm Cottage, is single storey, with a wellequipped living kitchen, double bedroom and en-suite shower room. External stairs lead to a substantial first floor office or storage room which enjoys views over open countryside to the side and rear.

OUTSIDE

Gated driveway parking leads to the front of the property, and from here a five bar gate leads through to a second inner drive to the rear of the stables. The stable block, by Harlow, includes 4 stables, a feed room and open fronted double barn which gives ample space to park two vehicles if required. To the front is a fenced turning out area, and this leads to the paddocks beyond. The gardens at White House Farm Cottage are primarily laid to lawn, with a large terrace adjacent to the drawing room and dining area. Scented herb borders frame the lawns, whilst an area separated by a mature hedge has space for a vegetable plot and large hen coop.
