Description

Originally two cottages, Riverside Cottage dates back to the 1700's and offers versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.

To the right of large porch, you have the living room with woodburner, and to the left is the open plan kitchen/dining room with an electric AGA. From the inner hall you access the family room which benefits from independent access from the driveway, the conservatory, the scullery and a cloakroom – this area of house could be used as a self contained annexe. Also on the ground floor is the utility room and another cloakroom.

On the first floor you have two larger double bedrooms, two smaller double bedrooms, and a fifth loft-style bedroom, a shower room and a family bathroom.

The property benefits from an additional newly renovated two bed detached cottage within the grounds. This comprises a sitting room and open plan kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. There is also a private courtyard garden. This offers a great opportunity for multigenerational living or to be run in its current capacity as a popular holiday let.

The property is approached through double wooden gates onto a private driveway with turning circle featuring a pretty Magnolia tree, with plentiful parking.

There are mature gardens to the rear comprising gently sloping lawn, an entertaining terrace, and a gravel al fresco dining terrace. There is also a kitchen garden.

In all approximately 0.39 acres. EPC's - The House: E & The Gardeners Lodge: E.

Babington House and The Newt are also both within easy reach.
