A charming late Victorian four-bedroom, three bathroom extended cottage nestled in the picturesque countryside of Aldham affording wonderful far-reaching views over open countryside. 0.2 acre.
Accommodation
Ground Floor
The property is approached via a charming side stable door, opening into a welcoming entrance hall/boot room with underfloor heating and bespoke fitted cabinetry, incorporating useful appliance storage. A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off the entrance hall.
From here, the accommodation flows into a capacious semi-open-plan living space. The dining area opens into a stylish and comprehensively appointed bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, individually designed and installed by Copford Kitchens. French doors provide a seamless connection to the garden.
The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, again benefiting from underfloor heating and centred around a wood-burning stove. Large windows afford superb views across the landscaped garden and the open countryside beyond. Completing the ground floor is a generous reception room featuring an attractive red-brick fireplace.
First Floor
The first floor is approached via a light-filled L-shaped landing, from which doors lead to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Outside
The cottage occupies an enviable position on the edge of open countryside, standing within approximately 0.2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The principal garden enjoys a desirable south-westerly aspect, while to the northern boundary is an impressive covered entertaining area, complete with a brick-built pizza oven – an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining throughout the year.
A private driveway provides ample off-road parking.
