GENERAL REMARKS
Comment by Mark Johnson FRICS @ Baker Wynne and Wilson
The Cottage interiors are filled with light and preserved original/reclaimed features, including the French spiral staircase, hand carved stand stone pillars, and the Portland stone fireplace. The property was thoughtfully renovated by its current owner to provide a space designed with blended rural charm and modern conveniences. Unfolding across circa 2400 sq. ft of brilliantly crafted accommodation, it is a truly distinctive home in a small hamlet that once formed a farm. Approx 9 acres of organically maintained gardens surround the house, with a small natural lake, orchard, formal raises lawn with a Ha-Ha, and various paddocks, along with multiple outbuildings including a spectacular conservatory/ greenhouse, a large agricultural barn with potential, double garage, studio, and numerous stables.
