CHARMING SEMI-RURAL DOUBLE-FRONTED CHARACTER COTTAGE WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL PRIVATE GARDEN & ITS OWN WOODLAND Welcome to 2 Ivy Place, a beautifully presented double-fronted character cottage, offering a rare combination of traditional charm, extensive improvements and a wonderfully private garden.
The substantial garden plot extends a considerable distance from the house, incorporating carefully created spaces for relaxing and entertaining, before continuing to its own private woodland at the far end.
With the nature reserve and local canal network boundary beyond, the garden enjoys an enviable sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst the improvements throughout the property combine the character and charm of an older home with the comfort, practicality and functionality of modern living.
The garden has been designed to make the most of its impressive length and offers a variety of spaces for both relaxing and entertaining.
A paved patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, whilst a covered seating area with waterproof roofing allows the garden to be enjoyed whatever the weather.
Further along the garden, a substantial 3m x 3m solid hardwood gazebo houses an impressive hot tub, with 32A mains power, lighting and additional outdoor power points provided throughout the garden.At the far end, the garden opens into its own private woodland, creating a natural space to explore and enjoy, with mature trees and natural features adding to its unique character.
Internally, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout, with the owners retaining the charm and character of the cottage whilst investing extensively in the practical elements of the home.
Considerable improvements have been made over the years, creating a home that combines the appeal and individuality of a character cottage with the comfort, practicality and functionality expected of modern living.

It is well equipped and benefits from a range of improvements, together with a new UPVC composite stable door providing access to the garden.
A particular highlight of the ground floor is the beautifully designed bespoke conservatory, currently used as a dining room.
Thoughtfully designed to complement the character of the cottage, it provides a wonderful additional living space, with French doors opening directly onto the patio and views extending along the garden.
The extensive glazing creates a lovely connection with the garden and makes this a particularly enjoyable space for dining and entertaining throughout the year.

Bedroom one comfortably accommodates a super king-size bed alongside wardrobes, with a 4" extraction vent installed to allow for air conditioning.
