Full Description: Situated on the corner of Sparrow Cock Lane, in the picturesque countryside of Chadwick End, this elegant Victorian residence enjoys a wonderfully private setting. Discreetly tucked away behind impressive double wrought-iron electric gates, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to the charming gated entrance of the cottage garden and main front door, as well as to the beautifully landscaped rear courtyard and terraces. This area provides a convenient everyday approach to the home, with access through a covered storm porch into the open-plan kitchen.The Main HouseRosemary Cottage is an exquisite period home that has been meticulously renovated and beautifully maintained, blending heritage charm with refined modern comfort. From the moment you enter through the original oak door into the elegant hallway, you’re met with a sense of understated sophistication – parquet and engineered oak flooring, bespoke cabinetry, and subtle heritage tones from Little Greene create an effortlessly polished ambience throughout.The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan breakfast kitchen, featuring off-white cabinetry with black bar handles, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and a full suite of Bosch integrated appliances, including a double oven, microwave, induction hob, and dishwasher. A sociable breakfast bar and family dining area with built-in seating flow naturally through this open-plan space, with the focal point being a charming wood-pellet fireplace beneath an oak beam. Every detail, from the remote-controlled blinds to the LED ceiling lighting, has been thoughtfully chosen for both style and convenience. Additional highlights include a well-equipped utility room, a beautifully finished cloakroom, and a built-in drinks station next to a tranquil office with bespoke storage and desk space.UpstairsThe oak staircase, complemented by a stylish stair runner, leads up to the first-floor landing with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom leading off. The principal suite enjoys a breathtaking view over the cottage gardens, koi pond, and beyond, and has been cleverly designed with a stylish built-in oak floor-to-ceiling headboard, creating a natural partition behind which is both a dressing area with built-in storage to one side and a luxurious en suite with shower cubicle, WC, and hand basin to the other. Two further double bedrooms, each finished in soft, elegant tones and both enjoying wonderful unspoilt countryside views, and a spacious family bathroom with both an inset bath and a separate double shower, complete this delightful main residence.OutsideThe gardens, grounds, and outbuildings of Rosemary Cottage amount to 0.6 acres and are simply exceptional, offering a rare combination of beauty, practicality, and privacy. The property is encircled by immaculate lawns and lush hedging, creating a 360-degree wraparound sanctuary of greenery. To the rear lies a broad, level lawn with mature poplars and copper beech trees, where a bamboo tiki hut with built-in seating provides the perfect covered entertaining spot.Accessed off the gravel driveway through a side gate is the aptly named “secret garden”. This charming cottage garden, designed and created by the present owners, is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Tall hedge screening creates total privacy, where neat gravelled pathways meander through smart lawned areas and well-planted flower borders. The main focal point of this tranquil space is the striking koi pond, complete with a backdrop of an ornamental-style stone chapel cleverly concealing the filtration system.Leading off the smart terraces, a covered outdoor area creates the perfect spot for al fresco dining, with ample space for a large table and chairs, and is complete with an outdoor kitchen area featuring granite countertops, an inset gas hob, and heaters – ensuring year-round enjoyment. The extensive stone and high quality tile terraces link seamlessly to the house, offering numerous seating areas from which to admire the landscaped vistas.The property boasts an impressive suite of outbuildings, including a superb workshop with fitted workbench, a secure wood store, a garden shed housing the solar-edge battery packs for the roof-mounted panels, an oil storage shed, and a well-appointed gymnasium with oak flooring, mirrored walls, electric heating, and media fittings. A greenhouse, potting shed, and ample parking for multiple vehicles – with electric car charging – complete the picture of this extraordinary setting, all within beautifully maintained, private, and secure grounds.The AnnexeThe separate annexe at Rosemary Cottage is nothing short of spectacular – a fully self-contained residence that feels every inch a home in its own right. Entered through an elegant orangery with engineered oak flooring, exposed brickwork, and bespoke blinds, it sets the tone for what lies beyond: a home of contemporary style and warmth.From the orangery, a stable door leads into a generous hallway and onward to the magnificent vaulted living room, where reproduction beams soar above and a vast picture window frames views across the koi pond and cottage garden. Dual-aspect windows flood the space with natural light, and a brick-built fireplace with inset wood burner and oak beam mantel forms a cosy centrepiece.The kitchen is beautifully appointed with pale off-white cabinetry, quartz splashback, Bosch induction hob, oven, microwave, and dishwasher – all integrated with a meticulous eye for detail. The ground floor also features a sleek, modern shower room with walk-in rainfall shower, wall-hung vanity, and hidden utility cupboard with washing machine, countertop, and Worcester Bosch boiler.Upstairs, the dog-leg staircase leads to a spacious bedroom with exposed beams, elegant oak wardrobes, and a stylish en suite cloakroom with fitted vanity and mirrored cabinetry. With its oak doors, brushed black iron fittings, subtle pebble-grey décor, and plush carpets, the annexe exudes a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. It is perfectly suited as a luxury guest house, an independent relative’s residence, or even a high-end holiday retreat – seamlessly blending independence with connection to the main home, should one wish to reintegrate the two.Rosemary Cottage is a rare opportunity – a home of grace, craftsmanship, and comfort, with gardens and grounds that enchant at every turn, and a separate annexe that truly elevates this exceptional property into something extraordinary.Local AreaRosemary Cottage is located on a quiet corner of Sparrow Cock Lane in the small rural village of Chadwick End.
