Description
Occupying an enviable position within the sought-after village of Pickmere, this beautifully presented detached cottage combines timeless character with everyday living extending to approximately 2537 sq ft. Enjoying delightful rural views and wonderful countryside walks directly from the doorstep, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential village home in an idyllic setting.
A handsome oak porch leads through the original front door into a welcoming entrance hall, thoughtfully designed as a practical boot room with bespoke fitted storage and seating. Cleverly concealed behind the bespoke cabinetry is a useful home office, providing an ideal space for remote working.
The snug is positioned just off the hallway and is accessed via attractive double doors. Rich in character, the room centres around an original fireplace and provides a cosy retreat away from the main living areas.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the stunning hand-painted kitchen dining room. Beautifully appointed with granite work surfaces and an array of quality integrated appliances including an Aga, gas hob, oven, dishwasher and wine fridge, and integrated fridge/freezer the space perfectly balances practicality and style. Exposed beams and a traditional flagged floor add warmth and character, while double doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The separate dining room enjoys pleasant views across the gardens beyond, with exposed beams creating a wonderful setting for both formal entertaining and family gatherings.
The superb principal reception room is a particularly impressive space, benefiting from a triple-aspect outlook which floods the room with natural light. Featuring attractive panelling, a log-burning stove, twin window seats and patio doors opening onto the garden, the room offers an exceptional environment for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The first floor accommodation is equally impressive. The principal bedroom suite enjoys vaulted ceilings, complemented by a dressing room and luxurious en suite bathroom. Four further generously proportioned bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and an additional utility/shower room, providing flexible accommodation for growing families and visiting guests.
The family bathroom has been beautifully appointed with Burlington sanitaryware, a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure and vanity unit, creating a timeless and elegant space.
