2 Victoria Cottages is a stunning home, a perfect example of village living with the character and history to match. The home has been lovingly restored and refurbished to a very high standard with some beautiful examples of British design and Craftsmanship.

One of Sir Edwin Lutyens designs, the Grade II listed home has echoes of Gertrude Jekyll's home Munstead Wood with the tile hung gable end and red brick chimney stacks so unique in their design. The windows have all been restored and repainted in Little Green’s ‘Sir Lutyens’ Sage Green’ as a very fitting tribute.

The accommodation is spacious and bright throughout with a bespoke solid wood kitchen and doors onto the immaculate rear garden. The adjoining dining room has an excellent array of cupboards and space for a sizeable table. The sitting room to the front of the house overlooks the well-stocked front garden. An abundance of roses and lavender frame the view across the village. A pretty WC with Liberty wallpaper completes the ground floor.

Taking the historic staircase to the first floor, the bedrooms each have charming views of the garden or across the village. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room with sumptuous marble tiles and underfloor heating and the other two bedrooms are beautifully decorated to an extremely high standard. The first floor is completed by a spacious family bathroom with a roll top bath and feature handmade tiles.

Outside

The garden to the front of the house is a gardeners dream with an abundance of stunning roses and lavender borders. The whole garden has been lovingly re-designed by the current owners in the style of Gertrude Jekyll as a tribute to her partnership with Lutyens throughout his career. The current owners have also built a home office in the rear garden which adds an exceptional opportunity to work from home or re-purpose as a yoga studio or gym, depending on your needs.
