The Property

With three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a versatile layout across two floors. The plot is private and well enclosed, with mature planting, a west-facing lawn, and a detached timber garden room. Gated off-street parking is provided to the front with additional gravel space. The house sits within the Stevington Conservation Area.

Entry is via a stable timber door that opens into a central hallway, with limestone flooring running through to the kitchen. To the left, a separate study sits at the rear of the house and overlooks the garden. Adjacent to the study, there is a downstairs shower room with contemporary sanitaryware. The sitting room is located at the front of the house and extends the original cottage’s full depth. This room retains its original proportions, with exposed ceiling timbers, window seats and a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The room benefits from underfloor heating and quarried stone flooring that extends to the hallway.

The kitchen-dining room forms the main day-to-day living area. It has been designed with hand-built painted tulipwood cabinetry, quartz worktops, a range cooker with induction hob, a butler sink and a built-in pantry and integrated microwave. There is a beautiful oak-framed orangery attached to the kitchen, which is a stunning space and creates a welcoming a sociable area within the kitchen. With doors opening to the rear garden. The Kitchen is supported by a utility room with an integrated dishwasher and space for a washing machine. This room has a further stable door leading to the rear garden.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase rising from the sitting room. At the top of the stairs, a landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned above the kitchen wing and includes fitted wardrobes and views over the garden. Adjacent to this is a bathroom with a bath, WC and basin. Bedrooms two and three are both generous doubles, retaining mullioned windows, exposed beams and space for freestanding furniture. There is a second bathroom on the ground floor with a large walk-in shower and contemporary sanitary ware.

There is a significant attic at Foxwood. This area is boarded and accessed via the landing, which could have excellent potential to convert to a further bedroom, subject to planning.

Externally

The house sits well within its plot, with a block-paved path running between the house and the timber garden room at the rear boundary. The garden is west-facing and benefits from afternoon and evening sun. It is largely laid to lawn with a deep bed of established planting along the boundary, a raised herb garden to one side, and several distinct seating areas. The garden room is fully detached and positioned at the foot of the plot. It is clad in timber, glazed to the front, and it is insulated and fitted with power, having previously been used as a home studio. With external lighting in the garden. To the front, a five-bar gate opens onto a gravel drive with space for multiple vehicles.
