Description
Definitely one of a kind! An impressive period residence offering deceptive accommodation and retaining many period features. Standing proud in a secluded elevated position overlooking its own private, south facing gardens and woodland, totalling approximately 8 acres and superb distant countryside views.
Vendor's comment It has been a delight to live in the gorgeous special hamlet of Kelly. The cottage, gardens and woodland with its various species of rare trees make for a magical environment.
We believe this enchanting cottage dates back many centuries. Aptly named 'Garden Cottage' as it was originally the Head Gardener's cottage to 'Kelly House' which is the principal landmark residence situated in this Grade I Listed settlement which dates back over 1000 years.
The current owners have improved their home to ensure that the elegance and charm throughout the internal accommodation, remains with each room expressing their individuality. You enter the Cottage via a pretty Entrance Porch with traditional hand pull doorbell. The Lounge has an open working fireplace and a window seat to admire the views over the front gardens and distant countryside. The Sitting room also has an impressive fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There is a separate open-plan Kitchen/Dining Room with attractive fireplace, a window seat to enjoy those views and all these receptions rooms will offer a real warm and cosy feel. The Kitchen has a good selection of units with granite worktop surfaces and a walk-in pantry. A door leads into the Utility Room with doors to the side paved patio, Cloakroom and Laundry Room which has a door to the rear access. The spacious landing leads off to 3 elegant Double Bedrooms, two with stylish Ensuite Bathrooms and there is a separate Shower Room. In addition to the working fireplaces the property is also heated via a modern external oil-fired central heating boiler.
Outside the Cottage is approached by its own treelined driveway which sweeps up to the substantial detached Double Garage. There is a professional Potting Shed and Summerhouse within the formal gardens of approximately 2 acres which offer an abundance of trees, flowers, shrubs and bushes. The gardens are an ideal paradise haven for those keen gardeners! The extensive South facing paved terrace is a perfect spot for al fresco dining, to relax and admire those views over the private grounds and distant countryside. In addition, you have your own Woodland oasis of around 6 acres with meandering paths, two ponds, waterfalls, numerous specimen trees and definitely gives you that feeling of privacy and tranquillity.
