3 bed detached house for sale

Cookes Lane, Henley, Langport, Somerset TA10

A quintessential 2/3 bedroom Chocolate box cottage sat in a tranquil 0.25 acre plot with outbuildings and meticulously crafted gardens that has been sympathetically restored and updated by the current owners. No onward chain.

Rosemary Cottage, a classic, thatched, Grade II listed British Country side cottage located on a quite lane, surrounded by fields and nature, offers a chance to live in a peaceful serenity. The current owners have been proud custodians of Rosemary Cottage and have cleverly combined period character and charm with modern day living.

The accommodation starts from entering via the garden room, a lovely room that provides 180° view out over the rear garden and allows for a front row seat for watching birds and wildlife that have been encouraged to flourish locally. The garden room can also double up as a dining room. The kitchen is beautifully presented and made from wood with tiled splashback, wall mounted shelving, central Island, electric oven with gas hob that’s fired by Calor gas. The living room, laid to carpet and adorned in character with beams and, Inglenook style fireplace and exposed bread oven behind. Wall mounted lights create an intimate atmosphere, with space for both sofas and dining table if needed. The original front door access via a thatched porch provides access to the front from the living room.

At the Eastern end of the property on the ground floor is the second reception room that has been cleverly divided by bespoke wall of book shelving, creating a wonderful library with wine storage. Built within the book shelving is a hidden door that leads to a private, quiet study area that looks over the garden to the rear. The wall could be easily removed to create a larger reception room or downstairs bedroom as it had been used for previously. A fully tiled shower room with WC, hand wash basin and enclosed shower completes the accommodation downstairs. Upstairs via the half turning stairs has two bedrooms, the master has had an en-suite WC and hand wash basin added and overlooks the rear garden. The second bedroom upstairs is currently used as a dressing room but would comfortably accommodate a bed.

Externally Rosemary Cottage has a double parking area that provides off road parking. The property itself is surrounded by field’s currently housing sheep. The current owners have cleverly created a water feature that provides a gentle sound track of running water – an ingenious irrigation system that runs from the bespoke, customisable drainage system. The garden and growing areas have been meticulously crafted using materials sourced from the garden itself such as the Willow used for growing the vegetables, sections of wild meadow flowers, beautiful mature trees and shrubs, a small area of woodland provides an area of dappled shade. Various outbuildings such as an old Railway carriage used as a work shop, another outbuilding with power and lighting used a games/hobby room, 2 greenhouses and a further smaller workshop/studio.
