A delightful 3 bedroom oak framed thatched cottage with extensive gardens, with a total plot of approx. 1.26 acres
The MewsLovingly restored to the highest of standards, The Mews is a delightful grade II listed oak framed thatched cottage which is thought to date back to the 17th century. Meticulously renovated, The Mews now offers the ideal blend of a period property with modern installations. There is extant planning in place for a double garage to one side, which offers the opportunity to develop this characterful home further. An oak frame porch opens to a feature entrance hall, with split oak staircase rising to the first floor landing. To one side of the entrance hall is a bright, dual aspect sitting room with a gas wood burner style fireplace and pleasant views to both the front and rear. A doorway off the opposite side of the entrance hall offer access to the spacious kitchen, which has a range of wall and floor cabinetry. Integrated appliances include a microwave and dishwasher, whilst there is a handy utility area with a guest WC off. The kitchen opens to a further triple aspect sitting room with outstanding views across the Hanchurch pools and surrounding countryside. The oak staircase splits, with one side offering access to the principal suite offering an exceptionally spacious dual aspect bedroom with high, part vaulted ceiling. There is an en suite shower room which leads to a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes. The dressing room could be converted back to a bedroom, which would have a Jack and Jill en suite, if required. Off the opposite side of the staircase is the stunning guest suite. A vast bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower leads through to an exceptional vaulted bedroom, with exposed oak frame which is glazed within the voids to create a floor to ceiling window, providing excellent views. Gardens and Grounds Accessed via a sweeping and dramatic shared driveway, a front courtyard, with allocated parking spaces, provides access to the front porch. A pathway to both sides of The Mews offers access to the rear gardens. There is a terrace and large gravelled area with steps leading up to the formal lawned gardens which are interspersed with several herbaceous beds. The extensive lawned area is well landscaped and highly versatile. In all the plot totals 1.26 acres.
