Holly Cottage is accessed through the pretty village green, over a private shared road. A gravelled driveway, providing parking for several vehicles, leads to a superb, detached Garden House/Double Garage 441 sq ft (41 sq m), with double barn doors giving access to the garage with power, light and a gardener’s WC. The garden house comprises a delightful studio, which could easily be re-configured as an office, large, versatile mezzanine level with storage room, and to the front is a charming, covered terrace area with heating and lighting which enjoys fabulous views over the gardens. The stunning, formal gardens surround the cottage and are a particularly fine feature of the property with delightful views over open countryside in an idyllic, tranquil setting. The gardens are fully enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. A large, paved terrace adjoins the rear elevation providing ample space for social and family entertaining and an Anderson shelter and timber shed provide plenty of storage. Pre-planning was recently sought for the addition of a Wellness Centre/Pool. Beyond the gardens is one acre Paddock and Stable Block with power, light and water offering excellent facilities for equestrian pursuits or hobbies.
