Description
A wonderful period home, full of character, with contemporary interiors and a superb, professionally landscaped garden.
Daisy Cottage - Pretty as a picture, Daisy Cottage has been fully renovated and is a superbly presented family home. Created from the old Dog pub about 5 years ago, the property has matured beautifully with an inspiring garden created by the current owner, a professional landscape architect. Inside, the house is full of character with original oak beams and polished oak floors, yet is light and airy.
The covered porch with log store leads to the cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace with seats and wood burning stove. An elegant family room has views to the front. The lovely light kitchen/breakfast room is nearly 30ft long and is well-fitted with an excellent range of colour co-ordinated bespoke wall and floor units with appliances including a wine fridge and larder fridge and freezer. There is a peninsula breakfast bar and plenty of space for a dining table. The utility room and cloakroom are tucked away to one side.
The extraordinary garden room is a wonderful feature with a vaulted ceiling and is flooded with light from the roof lights and the double doors which leads onto the terrace.
Upstairs, the generous main bedroom has a separate dressing room and en-suite bathroom. There are 3 further bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. All the bathrooms are well-appointed with contemporary fittings.
Outside - Once just a flat and simple lawn, the garden has been totally transformed into a haven of water, lush planting and sun terracing. Double doors from the garden room lead to the Indian stone terrace with areas for eating and sunbathing with is an outdoor bar and kitchen.
