A beautifully appointed country cottage with heated swimming pool, tennis court, versatile annexe and wonderful views

Description
Set behind secure wooden gates and approached via a private driveway, Thornfield Cottage is a beautifully presented detached residence offering a rare blend of rural tranquillity, versatile living space and superb lifestyle features — including a heated outdoor swimming pool, private tennis court, and the potential for a self-contained annexe or dedicated leisure complex.

Occupying a generous and secluded plot with uninterrupted views across open countryside, this exceptional home extends to nearly 3,000 sq ft and provides well-balanced accommodation comprising four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two principal reception rooms, along with a substantial open-plan kitchen/family room and separate utility. Recently upgraded — including new windows, fascias, and full refurbishment of the pool and tennis court — the property is perfectly suited to those seeking a picturesque semi-rural lifestyle with high-specification leisure amenities.

Accommodation
Entry is via an enclosed porch, leading into a welcoming reception hallway with central staircase and an adjacent ground-floor shower room. Two spacious reception rooms provide elegant and adaptable living space, currently arranged as a lounge and a dining room — both featuring double-sided wood burning stove and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, ideal for entertaining and indoor-outdoor living.

A further ground-floor bedroom provides ideal guest or multi-generational accommodation, or could be reimagined as an office, playroom or additional living space as needed.

At the heart of the home is a superb 25ft open-plan kitchen/family room — triple-aspect and bathed in natural light. This space combines a well-appointed kitchen with a sociable living area, complete with a log-burning stove and ample room for seating and informal dining. The adjacent utility room is fitted with a sink and storage, and offers access to the rear garden as well as internal entry to the garage — ideal for everyday use, pets, or returning from country walks.

Annexe / Pool House
Accessed either via the utility room or independently from the garden, the annexe offers exceptional flexibility. Currently configured as a gym with WC, study, and a large first-floor studio or games room, this wing of the house could be transformed into a fully self-contained guest suite, a leisure complex, or a professional home office.

French doors open directly to the pool terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle opportunity, while the space above features circular feature windows, Velux skylights and ample storage.

First Floor
Upstairs, the principal suite benefits from far-reaching countryside views, a private balcony, a striking circular window, and a generous en-suite bathroom. There are two additional double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, and a well-appointed family bathroom with airing cupboard.

Gardens and Grounds
Set within beautifully maintained and mature grounds, the property is surrounded by hedgerows and enjoys total privacy. A sweeping, turning driveway provides ample parking and leads to an integral double garage.

To the rear, the gardens are a standout feature — laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature trees, with a full-size tennis court and heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen creating an exceptional setting for relaxation and recreation. The expansive terrace provides ideal space for summer dining, all framed by panoramic views across open countryside.
