Description
A delightful ragstone cottage in a peaceful location on the edge of the Linton Estate
Keepers Cottage is a pretty ragstone lodge set at the mouth of the drive to the Linton Estate. Understood to have been the gamekeeper’s cottage, the property has some lovely details, typical of the vernacular architecture of other buildings on the estate, with ornate barge boards and a fish scale tiled roof.
A door opens to an enclosed porch leading to a reception hall, which has previously been utilised as a study/home office area. Doors open to two reception rooms; a dining room sits to the front of the house with a tiled fireplace and cupboards either side, and a sitting room with which has a wood-burning stove, store cupboards and an arched alcove.
The kitchen is a good size with a ceramic tile floor and is fitted with traditionally styled units; there is ample room for a table. The adjoining utility room provides a practical space together with a rear lobby which gives access to the downstairs cloakroom and a side door.
Upstairs there are four bright bedrooms, two of which enjoy views across neighbouring parkland. A family bathroom with a separate shower and a bath completes the accommodation.
This property has 0.55 acres of land. Outside
Sitting on rising ground with views over neighbouring parkland, Keepers Cottage is approached over a drive leading to plenty of parking to the east of the cottage and in front of a substantial detached building providing garaging.
The garden surrounding the house is fenced with a path leading to a side door. The garden is laid to lawn with established shrub beds.
Agent's Note: The extent of the land offered for sale is larger than the fenced garden, providing the opportunity to extend the overall garden area.
