Lifestyle
-------------
Do you enjoy cooking up a storm in the kitchen? Can you picture yourself coming inside on a summer’s afternoon, after harvesting your own vegetables & herbs from the garden, to a stylish and contemporary kitchen, with high end appliances? To get you started, the current owners have already planted rosemary, garlic, thyme, mint & oregano.
The ideal buyers for this home are looking for a fairly remote, rural property with a large garden; great for entertaining, gardening or keeping chickens. When the existing owners aren’t in the garden or kitchen, they are taking their dogs for endless walks straight from their front door; Whissonsett access miles of public footpaths ideal for dog walkers; you can even walk as far as Tittleshall village or Godwick Hall. The nearby coastal town wells-next-the-sea is only a 25 minute car journey away.
The Home
--------------
Cosy up in front of the fire in the colder months; there is a wood burning stove in the sitting room & an open fire place in the kitchen/breakfast room. Large windows let in lots of natural light & the conservatory really brings the outside in, benefiting from far reaching field views.
The existing owner is an enthusiastic cook, her son is now a chef; they fell in love with the stylish and soothing colour tones of the ‘Next’ fitted kitchen and ‘top of the range’ appliances. They have benefited from the Neff induction hob & double oven and now feel the time is right to move closer to family. The fitted kitchen also has an integrated Bosch dishwasher.
To the first floor there are 2 bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a separate bathroom & WC. Upstairs will benefit from some cosmetic updating including a new bathroom, but is ready to move into and update over time.
This cottage holds lots of charm & many benefits which include excellent wifi. The current occupiers work from home, sometimes both at the same time. Individual thermostats on every radiator, updated and extra power sockets and wooden latch doors throughout.
The Outside
------------------
The front is fully enclosed and landscaped with a manicured lawn & flower beds with rhododendron, hydrangeas and roses. The gravel driveway is secure & accessible behind a five bar gate which was taken from an old chapel and lovingly restored. There is off-road parking for 3-4 cars and further secure parking behind the second five bar gate for gatherings, or for the current owners, it was space to park their boat. There is also external lighting surrounding the cottage on all sides.
Rear Garden
-------------------
The present owners have spent huge amounts of time and money clearing and landscaping the stunning rear garden, which is fully enclosed and private with far reaching country side views to the rear and meadow views to the right. There is a manicured lawn with a mature cherry tree; currently in bloom. To the back of the garden there are raised beds, used to grow vegetables, a greenhouse & a shed. Down the right hand side there is a summer house, seating areas and a wide range of raised shrub & flower beds to include: ferns, roses, acer’s, clematis, wisteria, jasmine, geraniums, lillys, fucias, cordylines, bay and cherry trees. Just outside the conservatory is a patio area perfectly positioned to have a tea/coffee and enjoy the morning sunshine.
