Lane End Cottage is a characterful family home, which in recent years has been renovated and brought up to a high level of sophistication by the current owners. The house now has the seductive feel of a well maintained period property, with a stylish and up-to-date interior. Of particular note is the large kitchen/breakfast room which flows seamlessly into a family living space, great for relaxing or entertaining, and there are French doors leading out to beautiful gardens. The original and oldest part of the house is the sitting room, which has beautiful, exposed beams which have been sand blasted back to their original pale oak colour, which is highly attractive. The accommodation at Lane End Cottage is extremely versatile with either one or two bedrooms and a shower room located on the ground floor, and a further three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms upstairs. The main bedroom also has a dressing room with bespoke cupboards. There are wonderful views across the gardens and grounds.

Agents note: One or more of the sellers involved in the sale of this property is a relative of an employee of BNP Paribas

The house sits in generous gardens with imaginative flower borders and sweeping lawns close to the house itself, providing a pretty backdrop for the attractive period house. Beyond this there are extensive areas of lawn looking over the pony paddocks, menage and further equestrian facilities beyond. The paddocks, accented with beautiful mature trees, are post and railed and there is an impressive brick-built stable block. Additionally, there is a menage, specifically built for dressage, jumping and lunging. There is a swimming pool garden which is screened by mature hedging providing privacy and shelter from the wind whilst relaxing by the pool. There is also a smart vegetable garden with raised beds and two large timber and glazed green houses.
