PROPERTY DESCRIPTION A charming period home in an idyllic village setting, 1 Sweet Briar Cottages originally belonged to the Phillimore Estate and is believed to date from Circa 1900, having later been sympathetically enlarged to provide a family home of considerable character and accommodation of approximately 2035 sq ft. Via a timber porch with clay tile roof, the front door opens into a central reception hall with quarry tiled floor. Leading off the hall is a cloakroom, kitchen/ breakfast room with utility area and rear stable door, main drawing room with open fireplace and large bay window, snug sitting room, light and airy garden room, family room and study. Upstairs arranged around a central landing are 5 bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and a separate family bathroom. Tastefully presented and full of character features, the house has been adapted for family life over the years and has potential to revert to a more open plan nature if required.

OUTSIDE The property has a mature hedged frontage to the quiet lane, with openings for a pedestrian gate opposite the front door, and 5 bar gate opening onto a wide gravelled driveway providing off road parking space to the front and side of the house, with lawned front garden to the further side.

There is a spacious stone paved terrace leading off the house providing the ideal spot for ‘al fresco’ dining and entertaining, taking advantage of the sunny West facing aspect. A number of attractively planted mature beds and borders add colour and interest.
