Description
A charming, traditional country cottage in a glorious, peaceful setting
Carpenters Cottage is a charming and much loved home in a wonderfully peaceful and private setting. The accommodation is versatile offering various lifestyles options to suit. On entering, one is immediately struck by the character in the dining hall that leads seamlessly into the kitchen on the left which features a range of bespoke cabinets, work surfaces, exposed timbers, open fireplace and an electric AGA and a separate electric hob and oven. A comfortable sitting room has a dual aspect over the gardens and has a wood burning stove as a notable focal point. To the rear of the property is a family room or study with French windows. From here, you can access the wine store cellar.
The character throughout this property continues on the first floor with further exposed timbers. The first floor has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Stairs lead up to the second floor, which is currently used as storage and an occasional bedroom.
Above the garage there is an additional, ancillary living space/kitchen and shower room. This could be used as an annexe for guests.
This property has 2.65 acres of land. Outside

The garage building provides secure vehicle cover to extensive storage to suit. This could be used as an annexe for guests.

A large paddock, open to the garden and the south of the property, is ideal for equestrian or pasture use and has a clay pigeon tower.
