Overview

Cherry Tree Cottage is a stunning property offering over 2,000 sq ft of immaculately-presented accommodation arranged over two floors. Having originally been designed by an architect for his own occupation, the property maximises light, as well as the views; featuring splendid timber-clad elevations surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, all nestled within a borrowed landscape of mature trees with rolling countryside beyond, coupled with sun-drenched, elegant rooms combining traditional features with modern living.

At the entrance a porch opens to a long central hallway, providing access to the ground floor accommodation. Perfect for entertaining, the kitchen and breakfast room create a wonderfully sociable space; the kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a split butler sink, central island and a stainless-steel range cooker, whilst the breakfast room is ideal for informal dining, with tall sash windows and French doors opening to the west-facing garden. The formal dining room is triple aspect, overlooking the west-facing garden and features a lantern skylight allowing for maximum light, in addition to a further set of French doors opening to outside, whilst the drawing room is ideal for relaxing, with handsome fireplace fitted with a log burner, and two sets of French doors, flooding the space with natural light.

Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room offering additional storage, a well-appointed family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a rainfall shower, and two double bedrooms of similar proportions. Accessible from both the inner hall and dining room is a study, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, which could also be utilised as a further bedroom if required. The principal bedroom suite is to the first floor, with dormer windows taking in the countryside views; with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is also substantial eaves storage and loft space.
