The owners of this cottage have lived here for the past 22 years during which time they have updated, extended and enhanced the accommodation. There are so many features to this property but we would like to draw your attention to just a few; the reclaimed beech flooring in the hall from a church and Pirbright Barracks, a hand-made kitchen with stunning Yorkshire moulded flagstone flooring, a lovely conservatory with under floor heating, automatic blinds and floor tiles from Spain, and generous accommodation larger than the outward appearance would suggest. A canopy porch with a slate tiled roof and quarry tiled steps leads to the front door with wrought iron furniture which gives access to a very welcoming reception hall which has a dado rail in keeping with the style of this home.

The beautiful double aspect sitting room has a large brick open fireplace with two small inset windows and shelving and cupboards to both sides. French windows lead out onto a pretty courtyard area and large oak ceiling timbers add character to this room. The front aspect dining room is an excellent size and has extensive book shelving and a continuation of the beech flooring from the hall. The hand-made kitchen has a good range of granite worktops with cupboards and drawers below, a unit housing the larder and space for fridge and not only is lit by downlighters but has an additional skylight allowing natural light to pour in. A further area to the kitchen has cupboards with additional granite worktop and patio doors leading to the garden. This leads into the conservatory where you can while away the time enjoying the views over the garden.

Stairs with impressive balustrade and large newel posts lead up to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has distant views to the front towards Bourne Woods and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. The second and third bedrooms also have a front aspect with bedroom two having storage cupboards.

A further staircase on the landing leads up to the second floor where the fifth bedroom can be found. This room has ample eaves storage/wardrobe cupboards and could be used in many ways; perhaps for a teenager or hobbies room.

The gardens are a particular feature of this property offering various different vistas from the block paved courtyard area immediately surrounding the rear of the cottage, to lawns on differing levels divided into sections by steps and either archways or gates, taking in distant views at the top of Bourne Woods.

Plenty of fresh fruit can be offered from the three Victoria plum trees, apple tree and pear and to the rear is a summerhouse with light and power. This has been used as a gym in the past and has laminate flooring, plaster board and insulated walls and could be used possibly as an office. The gardens are a colourful delight and complete the setting for this beautiful cottage.
