DESCRIPTIONTucked away at the top of a long private drive, shared with one other property, Kiln Cottage enjoys a lovely setting with an outlook over gardens and fields, with superb equestrian facilities conveniently positioned within easy reach. With origins dating back to the brick-making industry, much of the inherent character of the cottage is still evident, including aged oak ceiling beams and wood panel doors with wrought-iron drop latches. The well presented, light and spacious reception space comprises a generously proportioned entrance hall with Amtico flooring, a drawing room with a carved stone fireplace, a sitting room with a lovely wide brick fireplace with an oak bressumer beam over, inset with a wood burning stove, a roundel dining room and a conservatory opening out to the garden.

An attractive country-style family kitchen/breakfast room lies in the heart of the house, fitted with oak wall and base units, granite surfaces, twin Butler sinks and a white electric 3-oven Aga. The adjoining utility room is fitted to match, and a practical boot room on the other side is an essential for country living. The impressive master bedroom on the first floor, with its high-beamed and vaulted ceiling, has a view to the South over the gardens and fields beyond and an adjoining en suite bathroom, cleverly incorporated into the roundel. 3 further bedrooms, together with a 5th, currently fitted as a well appointed dressing room with Smallbone wardrobes and drawers, and 2 well appointed bathrooms complete the accommodation.

OUTSIDEKiln Cottage is surrounded by delightful enclosed mature gardens of just over 0.50 acres. Laid mainly to lawn with a pond, terrace and colourful plantings, including magnificent rhododendrons to the boundary, this is a lovely area for outdoor entertaining, with a luxury “Arctic Cabin” providing an unusual focal point. A well tended and productive kitchen garden with raised beds lies to the back, stocked with fan trained top fruit, including cherry, pear, apple and plum and with a useful tool shed.
