Once two separate cottages, 1 Fawns Cottage is now a delightful and characterful Grade II listed home, set in a peaceful rural location with its own private water supply and scope for further development.
Beautifully presented and rich in period charm, the property offers a flexible and versatile layout. The ground floor boasts a thoughtfully designed layout ideal for modern living, featuring two welcoming reception rooms, both centred around a striking double-sided fireplace. A bright and spacious dining room extension enjoys picturesque views over the rear garden, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room is complemented by a practical utility room and a convenient downstairs shower room. A separate home office offers a quiet and private space, perfect for remote working or focused study.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite complete with a fitted en-suite bathroom and a dedicated dressing area. Character features are evident throughout, with charming exposed beams adding warmth and a sense of history to the space.
One of the standout features of this home is the rear enclosed garden, which extends to just under half an acre. Lovingly landscaped over the years, the garden is a vibrant haven of colour throughout the seasons and takes full advantage of the surrounding countryside views. Thoughtfully placed garden seating invites you to enjoy the peaceful setting, while a greenhouse, dedicated fruit and vegetable plots, and a composting area support a self-sufficient lifestyle. A charming summer house and a separate double garage with additional storage rooms complete this unique and picturesque home.
The property benefits from a double garage and a private driveway, offering ample off-street parking. The home enjoys delightful countryside views, providing a tranquil and scenic setting.
