Description

Copplestone Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed detached cottage in an elevated position with views over the surrounding countryside. Steeped in history, it is understood the property dates back to the 17th century having previously belonged to Lord Clinton’s Estate. There is plenty of character and charm, including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with beehive oven and window seats to the sitting room and dining room areas. Outside there is off road parking and a large mature rear garden.

Accommodation

Approached through an attractive thatch porch with bench seats and timber and glazed front door opening through to the reception room. Extending to 25’8, the reception room is currently used as a dining room and sitting room with the beams creating a natural divide. To one end there is a large inglenook fireplace housing the Calor gas stove. From here there is an opening through to the study and ground floor shower room. The kitchen has a white granite worktop and is fitted with light grey units, as well as a rangemaster cooker, a large Belfast sink, fully integrated fridge and dishwasher. From the kitchen, there is access via a stable door to the gardens.

The first-floor landing has the airing cupboard. The principal bedroom has a dual aspect overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside, whilst the second bedroom overlooks the garden. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a roll top bath.

On either side of the cottage are two useful spaces. To one side is a useful store room and on the other side is the workshop, which has previously been used as a bedroom. Accessed to the rear is an outside toilet.

Outside

There is a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles with the former car port beyond. The mature gardens lie to the rear and have been well maintained. Predominantly laid to lawn, there are a number of planted borders and well-established shrubs, along with a number of seating areas to enjoy the outlook. There is also a gazebo which makes a superb spot for outside dining.
