VC estates are delighted to welcome to the market this charming detached three-bedroom period cottage, lovingly renovated and extended by the current owners with great care taken to preserve its period charm while creating a comfortable and beautifully finished home. Set in a semi-rural location near Rushlake Green this property is surrounded by beautifully established gardens, offering a wonderful blend of character, comfort and privacy. <br/> <br/>Approached along a quiet lane, the cottage sits back behind a gravelled drive with parking and a handsome timber-framed garage. An oak porch shelters the front door, which opens into a welcoming hallway with warm oak flooring and space for coats, immediately setting the tone for the character and quality found throughout the house. <br/> <br/>To the right, the sitting room is a wonderfully atmospheric space, with windows to two aspects, exposed timbers and a large inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burner – a perfect room for evenings by the fire. Shelving is neatly fitted, and the proportions allow for generous seating. <br/> <br/>From the hall, the dining room enjoys views over the terrace and garden and provides an ideal setting for entertaining, with its oak floor and built-in storage. This room then flows naturally towards the heart of the home. <br/> <br/>The Howdens kitchen is a light-filled, vaulted space designed for both everyday living and social gatherings. A central island with gas hob forms a focal point, while granite worktops, a butler sink and a range of quality integrated appliances sit beneath. French doors open directly onto the sun-soaked terrace, seamlessly linking the interior with the garden beyond and creating a wonderful space for summer dining. Porcelain tiled flooring completes this stylish yet practical room. <br/> <br/>Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with additional storage and space for appliances, along with a stable door leading out to a sheltered courtyard – an ideal spot for muddy boots or a quiet morning coffee. A cloakroom is also conveniently located on the ground floor. <br/> <br/>Stairs rise to the first floor where the principal bedroom is a calm and elegant retreat, featuring fitted wardrobes and its own en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and ample storage. <br/> <br/>Outside, the gardens are a real highlight. Immediately off the kitchen, a south-west facing brick terrace enjoys sun throughout the day and looks across lawns framed by mature shrubs, roses and flowering borders. A pergola draped with fig provides a charming transition to the productive kitchen garden, where raised beds, fruit cages and a greenhouse offer space for growing. Beyond this lies a small orchard dotted with apple, pear, plum, gage and cherry trees, and the far boundary is softened by mature oaks, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. <br/> <br/>Agent comments: "The property offers a beautifully balanced blend of period character, modern comfort and established gardens, all within easy reach of the village of Rushlake Green and mainline rail connections". <br/> <br/>ADDITIONAL INFO: Main Electric, mains water, Septic tank, Oil heating, wood burner.
