The Property
Willow Cottage is a beautiful family home, recently updated to high eco-friendly standards. Set back from the road and originally built in the 1960’s on the site of a former stable, Willow Cottage is of traditional brick construction under a tiled roof with two chimneys at either end of the main roof. It was further extended in the late 1990's and the subject or further work in recent years. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the ground floor benefiting from the conversion of an attached double garage into a large dining kitchen. The ground floor spaces now work wonderfully with plenty of space for socialising together or having time in your own space. All rooms have views over the wonderful wrap around gardens. The siting room and study/snug both have log burners providing a cosy warm ambience during the winter months. The large rear hall/boot room has an excellent range of storage cupboards to tidy away shoes, coats and bags and sort out muddy boots and paws. The large dining kitchen has been carefully designed and crafted to an individual specification with high end work surfaces, cupboards (including pocket doors to hide all of the Miele appliances) and Dutch parquet style flooring with underfloor heating.
The staircase from the entrance hall leads to a bright landing on the the first floor with a front garden aspect and views towards the countryside to the front. The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony and looks over the wonderful rear outlook of the beautiful rear garden and cornfields beyond. It has a walk in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, fitted to a high standard. The further three double bedrooms all have excellent garden views.
Heating is provided via a recently installed (2020) air source heat pump. Solar panels are also in place to provide power to the house and the electric car charging point.
