This welcoming home was lovingly built by the current owners and is an ideal family residence with a traditional cottage feel. Rose Cottage is the perfect balance of living and entertaining space, with a sense of open plan flow and ample space for relaxation, ideal for family life. The 2000 sq ft residence nestles within a rolling green landscape, with views over the surrounding countryside comprising fields, a large garden, and farmland beyond. Internally, the house is the ideal space for contemporary living, combining well-proportioned rooms and windows on the south-facing side to create a feeling of light and space. The views to the front are similarly green with a beautiful garden, mature hedges, and trees beyond. Rose Cottage was built in 2002 and has been updated regularly, including underfloor heating and wood flooring throughout, fitted wardrobes and modern bathrooms; it is beautifully presented throughout. Planning permission was granted for a rear extension, but it has now lapsed.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the south-facing views over the countryside, with all the main reception rooms and principal bedroom facing onto the rear garden and fields beyond. The 2000 sq ft home is arranged over three floors, with generously sized rooms throughout. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading into the sitting room with Inglenook fireplace and double sliding doors to the rear, an open plan dining room and kitchen with Aga and contemporary range oven are ideal for entertaining and easily connect with the terrace via French doors. There is also a snug, laundry room, and a WC/shower room. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes, a modern shower room, and large windows overlooking the garden and countryside. The fourth bedroom is ideal for use as a home office, and there is a shared family bathroom with a separate shower. The lower ground floor provides cellar storage.
Outside
Rose Cottage is wonderfully situated on the edge of Kintbury, in a private setting which is just shy of a ¼ acre plot. There is brick paved off-street parking for multiple cars with a charging point for electric vehicles, and the property is accessed via steps or a rising path through the enclosed front garden to an attractive covered entrance. There is a sizeable, sheltered side return providing ample storage. The setting is both peaceful and in an Area of Natural Beauty, with the views of the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil backdrop to the well-appointed family home. The rear garden is south east facing, benefitting from lots of natural light, with a wood-fired pizza oven and paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The lawn is bordered by mature trees and shrubbery with fields at the far boundary.
