Description

The hidden driveway is absolutely perfect for those wanting countryside living. With extensive gardens to the roadside the gardens elevate to the hilltop position Folly House sits on. Gated access leads to another extensive driveway proving secure parking for many vehicles. There is a range of garaging and former stable which could easily make use of the small area to the front maybe for a pony.

Driving towards the house the stone cottage appears with large formal gardens to the front aspect. The patio area creates the perfect spot to entertain family and friends while taking in breath taking views. The pace you have to the front aspect to create something wonderful in the garden with a former pond giving the perfect base to start your creation.

A conservatory to the front lets it be the perfect boot room for muddy paws after one of many countryside walks on your doorstep. Maybe this would be the breakfast room or somewhere to enjoy a G&T in the summer months. This leads into the breakfast kitchen. A lovely space for all the family to relax while dinner is in the oven. Having a dining area along with nice worktops, delph plate racking and china display units this really gives it that country feel.

Here you have two options where to go and for this purpose we are going through a stable door into the extension. A rear entrance hall again is the perfect place for things to be away from the main house. This would also be the perfect annexe for a dependant relative or older children. Having a utility housing the Oil boiler and pluming for the washer but also having the benefit of a shower room. Next is the downstairs bedroom which is a good size and has ample space for a chair or two to double up as a bedroom and sitting area. Further things could be done here i feel to maybe open it up into the courtyard area at the back. There is also a rear small conservatory if you have been gardening.

The rear garden is more of a courtyard and i feel its here you could take advantage of the location, extend the property and make something special. Currently a courtyard style garden where again you have space to entertain or let kids play. A useful range of outbuildings also again lend itself for conversion into maybe a small office or just use them as they are if a gardener.

Going the other way from the kitchen you carry on through the original part of the cottage. You enter the formal living room complete with multi fuel burner. What a place to get comfy on the sofa and watch a film with the family in the winter months with a roaring fire on. A small entrance hall from the front door also gives access upstairs but also into the formal dining room. Currently used as an office and second sitting area, again its a lovely space with duel aspect windows and an open fire.

Upstairs the landing is the perfect spot for the possible extension with how its situated. But the main bedroom is to the front and a great size with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two is my favourite with duel aspect windows and stunning views. The house bathroom is down a few steps and benefits from a Roll top bath on ball and claw feet. Also having a separate shower cubicle. From the landing steps lead to the top floor where it provides useful storage space or a den for the kids.
