About
Pillar Cottage is an attractive attached former farm cottage set within a peaceful rural dairy hamlet and enjoying far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
Built in blue lias stone and with double glazing throughout, the cottage has been thoughtfully updated and modernised by the current owners creating a comfortable and beautiful family home whilst retaining the character, warmth and charm of its cottage origins.
The accommodation is light, spacious and well suited to modern family life.
At the heart of the house is a particularly impressive kitchen, with a vaulted and beamed ceiling creating a wonderful sense of space.
Bifold doors bring lots of natural light into the room and open towards the front of the cottage, making the most of the outlook.
There is a central island with breakfast bar, a range cooker as well as an oil fired Rayburn and generous amounts of worktop and storage creating a practical and sociable family kitchen, with a stable door leading out towards the rear garden.
The kitchen leads through to the central part of the house, where there is a useful downstairs cloakroom/utility space, a downstairs loo and access to the reception rooms.
The separate dining room is a lovely cosy room with wood-burning stove set within a stone inglenook.
The sitting room is a light and welcoming double-aspect room, with a fireplace and wood-burning stove, providing a comfortable and characterful space in which to relax.
There is also a generous Play Room / Reception Room, which would work equally well as a family room, snug or home office space, depending on the needs of the next owners.
Upstairs, the Master bedroom enjoys windows to the front and takes full advantage of the countryside views. It also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
There are two further double bedrooms together with a generous family bathroom.
Outside Pillar Cottage is approached through electric gates, opening to a private driveway with secure off-road parking for several cars.
A front garden and gated pathway lead to the front door with established planting creating an attractive first impression. The rear garden is a particularly lovely feature of the property.
Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, it feels private and secluded. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderful space for both relaxing and entertaining.
A paved terrace sits immediately alongside the house providing an ideal area for outdoor dining.
An impressive built in outdoor kitchen has been incorporated into the patio making it particularly well suited to summer entertaining.
From the terrace, steps lead down to the lawned garden which is surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and established planting, providing a good degree of privacy.
