Description

Nestled in a picturesque rural setting on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Upper Longdon, this beautifully renovated country cottage offers a unique and thoughtfully designed accommodation layout. Undergoing a complete "back to brick" renovation in 2021, the refurbishment has created expansive contemporary living spaces whilst tastefully preserving the home's natural character. The property is fully insulated and features underfloor heating on both the ground and first floors, powered by an external electric air source heat pump with a three-phase supply.
The spacious accommodation is entered via a vestibule entrance hall with original oak front door, tiled floor and stairs leading up to bedrooms on the first floor and door leading into the bespoke breakfast kitchen, which has been fitted to a high specification to include white quartz worktops, integrated appliances and twin ovens. The stunning kitchen leads seamlessly into the generous dining room featuring bi-fold patio doors leading out to the rear patio creating an ideal space for entertaining. There is a large utility room with units and worktops to match the kitchen and a useful study. The impressive living room features a brick built fireplace with dual fuel burner and exposed wooden beam and to the rear there is a lobby leading to the plant room, storage area and guest toilet with Villeroy & Boch suite and a door leading out to the covered passageway which leads through to the double and single garages.
The master suite is accessed via a private staircase having dual aspect dormer style windows with stunning views, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and french doors that open onto a private rooftop terrace, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The contemporary ensuite shower room has a walk in shower, chrome heated towel rail and vanity unit with granite surface. There are three further double bedrooms leading off a landing which is currently being utilised as a study with loft access and a generous modern family bathroom which has a walk in shower, freestanding bath tub and chrome heated towel rail.
Outside, the property is accessed through an electric gated driveway with ample parking space, accompanied by a large double garage and a single garage. There is a pretty foregarden with patio and pergola and a gate leads through to the rest of the expansive plot, which is approximately 2.5 acres including stabling, making it an ideal choice for those with equestrian interests.
