A wonderfully situated country cottage enjoying glorious views having stables, gardens and a good parcel of land<br/><br/>Combe Cottage is a rare find occupying one of the most secluded settings of a property we have seen for some while. Dating back to the 19th Century the property has been the subject of an extensive conservation programme and it now provides light and comfortable accommodation in an unprecedented location. One enters the cottage into a porch with log store from where the front door leads into a hallway with cloakroom and a garden room with French doors out into the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is found at the centre of the house, with a range of shaker style cupboards and an oil-fired AGA. The large sitting room houses a woodburner in an inglenook fireplace and sash windows to the south enjoying lovely views across the combe. Off the sitting room is a step down to a double aspect study/occasional single bedroom with views to both the east and south. From the stable yard one comes into the cottage through a storm porch and the back door leads to a substantial boot room with additional utility room. The old internal stable has been converted to provide a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room. This bedroom has a door and window overlooking its private terrace. The staircase from the kitchen leads to the first floor landing and to the two bedrooms, both having wonderful views, the larger bedroom has a dressing recess with walk-in wardrobe, the other with storage cupboards, linen cupboard and an en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom with bath, wc, wash basin and airing cupboard. <br/><br/>Gardens and grounds<br/><br/>A track wends its way off Eastcott lane past Lower Eastcott Farmhouse and across open farmland eventually arriving at the beech lined drive of Combe cottage and then the cottage itself.
