Cow Parsley Cottage: Tucked away on a peaceful country lane, this substantial four-bedroom home blends period character with contemporary living. Beautifully presented throughout, it features an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining space, flexible reception rooms, off-road parking with a garage, and a large wrap around garden, all within easy reach of the popular village of Bures. Guide Price: £750,000 - £800,000 **PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: ** Front: An inviting frontage sets the tone beautifully, with a generous driveway for multiple vehicles and a conveniently positioned single garage with lights and power. Mature hedging and established planting wrap the home in greenery, creating a sense of privacy and calm from the lane. Subtle solar PV panels enhance the look without distraction, lowering running costs and highlighting the property’s smart, modern approach to efficiency. Hallway: A welcoming entrance accessed through an oak stable door leads into a spacious hallway laid with limestone flooring that flows through the main living areas. Lined with numerous built-in cupboards and finished with a traditional column radiator, this is a practical yet elegant arrival space that sets a calm tone. The staircase to the first floor rises from here and doors lead directly to the kitchen/dining room, snug/office, utility and the downstairs shower room, making circulation effortless for everyday life and entertaining. Kitchen/Dining Room: This impressive open plan space forms the true heart of the home, created for relaxed family living and effortless entertaining. The hand-built oak kitchen is paired with elegant quartz worktops and a double butler sink with a brass tap, positioned beneath a bifold window that opens directly to the garden to make the most of the views and fresh air. Vaulted ceilings with rooflights, a feature picture window and wide bifold doors fill the room with natural light, while the limestone flooring continues outside to create a seamless transition to the alfresco dining area. Every element has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life. There is an integrated dishwasher, a full height fridge, a matching full height freezer and a cleverly designed pantry cupboard with internal sockets, ideal for keeping small appliances such as a microwave or air fryer neatly tucked away. A professional six-burner range cooker and a generous kitchen island with storage and power points complete this beautifully considered and highly functional space. The adjoining L shaped sitting room offers a wonderfully calm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for slowing the pace at the end of the day. New oak flooring, bespoke cabinetry framing the fireplace, and a glazed door to the garden create a warm, elegant backdrop for everything from quiet mornings with a book to cosy evenings with family. Although the current owners haven’t used the chimney, the space is ready for a wood burner should a new owner wish to add that extra touch of country home comfort. With doors opening to both the front and rear, natural light pours through the room throughout the day, while the direct access to the garden encourages an easy indoor outdoor lifestyle. It’s a space designed for unwinding, reconnecting and enjoying the simple pleasures of home. This versatile room, fitted with wood panelling and bespoke cupboards and desk, works beautifully as a quiet home office or a cosy snug. Dual windows bring in natural light, and the thoughtful built-in storage keeps the space uncluttered and functional. The current owners also use this room as an occasional guest bedroom, with the nearby shower room providing convenience and privacy for visitors. Tucked off the hallway, the utility room is a highly practical service space that houses the wall-mounted gas boiler, water softener and laundry appliances. Designed for efficiency, it keeps everyday chores out of sight while providing easy access to essential systems. Ample room for washing and drying makes household management straightforward. Finished to a high standard, the downstairs shower room features a fully tiled walk-in shower with a glass screen, a pedestal wash basin and a WC. Clean, contemporary fittings and quality finishes create a bright, functional wet room that serves guests and family members alike. Its proximity to the snug/office makes it especially convenient for overnight visitors. An attractive staircase ascends to a landing providing access to a thoughtfully arranged collection of bedrooms, each designed to offer comfort, space and flexibility for family life. The principal bedroom is a bright and calming retreat, benefitting from dual aspect windows that frame views of the front and side gardens. Newly fitted wardrobes add practical storage and have been intentionally left undecorated, giving the next owners the freedom to choose their own colour palette and make the space truly their own. Three further bedrooms sit off the landing, including two generous doubles and a well proportioned single, ideal for children, guests or a dedicated home office. The family bathroom mirrors the quality found throughout the home, finished to a high standard with a stylish basin and vanity lighting, a panelled bath with waterfall shower and separate mixer, a heated towel rail and a neatly concealed cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. Set within a generous, secluded plot, the gardens are a standout feature for anyone who enjoys outdoor living. Enclosed by mature trees and hedging, the lawned areas are complemented by well-established shrubs and two recently installed raised sleeper beds ideal for herbs and vegetables. The large patio accessible directly from the bi-folds doors in the kitchen extends the entertaining area, making summer dining and alfresco gatherings effortless.
