A beautifully presented and charming village house with contemporary garden room and coach house studio annexe set in delightful well stocked gardens.
A date stone of 1852 confirms Rose Cottage to be early to mid-Victorian. It has a particularly handsome façade with pillared entrance and a two-storey bay window. The traditionally arranged and beautifully presented rooms provide a comfortable home with particularly fine reception rooms. The pillared entry has a fine panelled front door leading into the hall. To the left of the hall a panelled door leads to the dining room with a traditional Minster fireplace and window overlooking the front garden. On the opposite side of the hall lies the sitting room/study with bookshelves and cupboards and an open fireplace. The drawing room is particularly light and spacious with double-aspect windows, and a handsome Minster fireplace with a Clearview wood burning stove. The kitchen is well-fitted with an oak parquet floor and traditional wall mounted cupboards, and a two-oven electric AGA set in a fireplace surround. There is ample room for a breakfast table. The utility/laundry has deep sink with wooden draining boards and has a shelved larder beyond. There is also a boot room with oil fired boiler, and door to the outside, which leads to a lean-to and outside wc. The hall leads to a wonderful garden room/bedroom, which is a recent addition to the house, and provides a very versatile space having bi-fold doors to the front of the house with electric blinds and an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, wash hand basin, wc, bidet and underfloor heating. A spacious galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom, which has a double aspect, a bay window, a range of built-in wardrobes and a door to the en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms to the front of the house, both having built-in storage and a guest bedroom at the rear of the house with built-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. There is a separate cloakroom with airing cupboard and family bathroom and shower and a box room/office.
The gated drive from Stoney Lane to Rose Cottage has a well-stocked mixed border and mature cherry trees. A double garage has an inspection pit and a staircase leading up to galleried storage area. Two garden stores/potting sheds adjoin the garage and a path to the rear garden, where there is a Rhino aluminium framed greenhouse, a further garage and the coach house studio annexe. This has a high vaulted ceiling, a kitchenette and a shower room. Rose Cottage's secondary entrance from Wiltown Road features double gates opening to a large gravel parking area. A pillared entry leads to a formal orchard with mature ornamental and fruit trees including catalpa, mulberry, medlar, and liquid amber. Lawned gardens stretch out to the front of the house, with a central path lined with standard bay trees, box and yew topiary.
