Description Lavender Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed family house with origins, it is believed, in the 17th century. The cottage has been beautifully extended and refurbished in recent years and now offers 21st century luxury whilst retaining the charm, character and appeal of a period property.
The spacious sitting room has a large brick fireplace which once had a bread oven, now housing a log burning stove. This lovely triple aspect room has a door to the garden, exposed wall and ceiling timbers and steps down to two separate areas which provide office and playroom space. The wonderful kitchen and dining room was created in 2011. This stylish and individual kitchen has a range of drawers and cupboards with polished concrete work-surfaces and a breakfast bar created from one beautiful piece of timber. There is a 3 oven electric Aga and an additional 2 oven Aga with gas hob. Throughout this area is limestone flooring with underfloor heating. Around the wood burning stove is a sitting area with bi-fold doors which open fully to the south facing terrace creating an indoor/ outdoor seating and dining area. The fully glazed dining room has doors to the garden and adds the finishing touch to this contemporary part of the house.
To the first floor of the main house is a double aspect master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a single room. There is listed building consent in place to change this arrangement to two bedrooms and an en suite shower room.
