1 Dairy Cottage was a classic, stone built, semi-detached cottage, believed to date back to c.1880. In the last few years, our clients have completely transformed the accommodation with a significant extension, providing a magnificent kitchen/dining/family room and a larger principal bedroom with en suite shower room.
The video tour tells the full story, but the living space is the prime feature of the property. With attractive oak effect flooring, and a large island unit with a dining bar, the extensive kitchen is fitted in a contemporary blue style with quartz work surfaces and a range of integral appliances, including two Bosch ovens, an induction hob, separate full height fridge and freezer and an integral dishwasher. At the other end of this large room, there is a generous dining area and space for easy chairs, overlooking the garden through the folding patio doors, opening out to the decked terrace - perfect for barbecues and entertaining.
Whilst having a very contemporary feel, some original architectural features have been retained, for example mullion windows and the large stone fireplace in the separate sitting room, with a wood burner, ideal for the longer winter evenings.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has views over the garden and countryside beyond and is fitted with a range of wardrobes and a dressing table, as well as a shower room, attractively tiled and fitted in a contemporary style, including a large shower cubicle, vanity unit and heated towel rail.
From the landing there are two further, well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with a white suite with a shower fitted over the bath.
On approach to the cottage, there is a five-bar gate giving access to ample parking and a further vehicular access to one side. The large garden enjoys a southerly, sunny aspect, with sitting areas and lawn bordered by an established beech hedge. Beyond the garden, a stylish studio or annexe has been built which comprises a main room with underfloor heating, currently used as a home office but could be a bedroom, a small utility area and a shower room. Above, there is a mezzanine storage area, accessed by a ladder, a great den if required! Beside the studio, there are useful stores and a workshop.
The studio and cottage have a strong broadband connection with the advantage of a 5G modem, networked with Cat 6 cabling giving speeds of 80-150 Mbps.
