Jasmine Cottage is a delightful period property with plenty of character including exposed timber beams throughout. The property also offers a stone-built barn to the rear offering potential for further development. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, including the welcoming reception hall, the comfortable sitting room with its impressive original fireplace and the useful study towards the rear. The 21ft kitchen and breakfast area has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and provides plenty of storage in fitted units as well as integrated appliances and space for a breakfast table, adjoing this is the large utility room. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom which has extensive fitted storage. There is a family bathroom on the first floor, while the ground floor provides a further bathroom. The stone barn to the rear of the property provides significant potential for development. The outbuilding could be connected to the cottage and converted into an open plan living and dining space, or perhaps a home office or creative studio, all subject to the necessary consents.

To the front, the cottage has a splendid garden with picket fencing, spring flowers and roses climbing the cottage’s whitewashed walls and rose arched gate. There is parking available on a paved driveway to the side of the property. The walled rear garden has a sun-trap paved terrace for al fresco dining, and a small area of lawn, bordered by a mature garden, with beautiful plants of delphiniums, trailing clematis & roses. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a "Picture postcard" cottage, that has been filmed in the Durrells TV series and is on the postcard of Peaslake village.
