When you look out from this beautiful period cottage into all of the surrounding woodland, it is hard to believe all your day to day needs are still on your doorstep. This home is truly the best of both worlds.

This period home has been restored and extended to a really high standard and sits in one of the most tranquil, peaceful settings you are likely to find whilst still able to get to work, shops, transport and all the things we need to do in our daily lives. The appropriately named Gardeners Cottages sit on the edge of woodland which can be enjoyed from all the key rooms in the house and especially the south facing, landscaped garden.

You enter the home through a beautiful glazed entrance hallway with a tiled floor which immediately sets the tone for the quality of the refurbishment work. The hall leads through to a large quality fitted kitchen with plenty of space for casual and formal dining as well. The kitchen is ideal for the avid cook with quartz worktops and upstands. A full range of floor and wall cupboards keep surfaces clear of clutter and there is a 5 ring gas hob, electric oven, integrated fridge, freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher. If you are stuck at the sink, at least you have a beautiful Belfast sink to use and you look out over the garden and woodland. There is also a separate utility area to keep the kitchen tidy as well.

The main reception room is a stunning feature of this home. Its square shape lends itself to all sorts of layouts whether it is a winter around the feature log burner or opening up all the bifold doors and bringing the garden into the home on sunny days and warm evenings. The doors open out onto the large decking area so that the peaceful woodland setting can be enjoyed inside and outside the home.

The third double bedroom is on the ground floor which can also be used as a further snug room, or office. It would be an ideal bedroom for an older family member or one with mobility issues especially as there is a ground floor bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled with a gorgeous feature bath, perfect for an indulgent soak and also has a wall hung sink and vanity unit. Throughout the main rooms on the ground floor is a high gloss wood flooring.

Upstairs are the two larger bedrooms and the main one has two sets of fitted wardrobes helping to provide plenty of storage. There is also a high quality fully tiled fitted shower room.

Outside, this home really comes into its own. The garden is south facing and the sense of privacy and tranquillity needs to be experienced to appreciate it fully. You are always aware of the woodland surrounding the house and the garden has been designed and managed to a very high standard. The large decking area is directly outside the bi fold doors from the main reception room merging the outside space and interior living. There is a further shaded patio area under a pergola and another area laid to lawn. A large outbuilding is a valuable extension to the living space whether it is used as a bar and play area or a home office. There is also a good sized shed and a further large store room, ideal for bikes and storing garden furniture. The hedging and fencing also help to create the whole sense of privacy where you focus on the wildlife and nature all around you and shut out the rest of the world.

The house is securely accessed through electronic wooden gates and the large driveway provides parking for several cars.
