As you would expect of a property of this age it offers the best of both worlds with many fine period features combined with all the conveniences of a modern house. Arranged over two floors Cold Blow Cottage offers flexible accommodation. Downstairs it consists of an entrance hall, a large triple aspect drawing room with inglenook fireplace, sitting/ dining room with another inglenook fireplace and stove, kitchen, breakfast room and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, 2 further bedrooms and a family shower room. Outside the cottage is surrounded on three sides by beautifully landscaped gardens that offer stunning views out over the surrounding fields beyond. A terrace wraps along the rear and side of the house and is accessed from not only the drawing room but the sitting room and kitchen as well making it the perfect place for al fresco dining/ entertaining in the summer months. From the terrace steps lead up and across an expanse of open lawn to a large garden shed. To the east of the house lies an unfinished detached garage block of substantial size that once finished will provide parking for two cars with the bonus of a room above.
