Characterful Family Home With 18th Century Origins

Description

Berkshire Cottage is a charming family home with origins believed to date back to the 1700’s.

The ground floor accommodation is exceptionally well planned and includes a spacious entrance hall which leads to the bright and inviting fully integrated kitchen/breakfast room with central island and two sets of French doors to the garden and access to the utility room. There is an elegant formal sitting room and family room both having French doors to the garden, a formal dining room and shower room. The study is found at the front of the house slightly secluded from the family space, so provides a tranquil work space.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom suite with built in wardrobes and en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a family bathroom. There is a useful mezzanine over the study currently used as a fifth bedroom.

Outside, the property is approached via electric gates leading onto a gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The house sits in delightful grounds of about 0.535 acres with a large expanse of lawn, a raised pond, a heated outdoor swimming pool and a substantial patio area which ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

There is also a sizable detached gymnasium/games room, a workshop, two sheds and a pool plant room. A variety of herbaceous borders, shrubs, trees and hedging to the boundaries offer excellent privacy.
