Gardener’s Cottage on Rectory Lane is a three-bedroom home on a private 0.7-acre plot, with breathtaking views, that is on the market with Ravenshead estate agents Gascoines for £695,000.
A spokesperson for Gascoines enthuses: “This property blends elements of traditional character with superb, contemporary styling and high-quality fittings to create a beautiful home.
"With its stone-built look, the design is thoughtful, sympathetic and elegant throughout, thanks to a subtle decor and on-trend finishes.”
The ground floor is dominated by an impressive open-plan living kitchen but also features a snug, a utility room, cloakroom and large store room. Upstairs, you will find three spacious double bedrooms, with the master boasting a dressing area and en suite, plus a modern family bathroom.
The grounds outside have to be seen to be believed. They have been extensively landscaped to create various areas on different levels to meander through via a network of pathways. There is a lawned garden with mature shrubs, an elevated patio leading to a summer house and even a lookout vantage point with excellent views.
Gardener’s Cottage is accessed via a private road, and electric gates with an intercom system open on to off-street parking space for numerous vehicles and lead to two garages, one single and one double.
