Description - Tucked away within a peaceful rural hamlet and set well back from a quiet country lane behind mature hedgerows, Quebec Cottage is an impressive detached family home offering generous and versatile accommodation, beautifully combining period character with modern family living.

Constructed of attractive Flemish bond red brick beneath traditional pantile-covered roofs, the property has been significantly enhanced by a substantial two-storey extension, creating an exceptionally spacious home extending to five bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and an excellent selection of reception rooms.

Approached via a shingle driveway, the property enjoys an attractive sense of privacy and an enviable countryside setting.

A welcoming open entrance porch leads into the spacious reception hall, where a staircase rises to the first floor with useful storage beneath.

The elegant principal sitting room is a wonderfully light space, with three windows overlooking the front gardens and an impressive inglenook-style fireplace housing a Villager wood-burning stove, providing a warm and inviting focal point.

From here, a connecting door leads through to a second reception room, currently arranged as a study, which in turn opens into a garden room enjoying direct access to the rear garden, creating an ideal environment for home working or quiet relaxation.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully proportioned kitchen, thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of fitted floor and wall units, complemented by woodblock-effect work surfaces, a central island and polished timber flooring.

Integrated cooking appliances include an electric oven with gas hob, while windows enjoy pleasant views across the front garden.

A rear hallway provides access to a generous third reception room, where glazed casement doors open directly onto the patio and gardens beyond, creating an excellent space for family gatherings and entertaining.

Adjoining is a practical utility room with Belfast sink, additional storage and its own external access to the garden whilst adjacent to the utility room is a stylish shower room.

The first-floor galleried landing gives access to five bedrooms. The two principal bedroom suites are particularly impressive, each benefiting from walk-in wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms.

Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, providing excellent accommodation for larger families or visiting guests.

Outside, a shingle driveway sweeps alongside the house to provide extensive parking and turning space, together with access to a detached double garage, presently divided into storage and workshop space.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending predominantly to the rear where generous lawns are enclosed by mature hedges, fencing and complemented by established borders.

A spacious paved terrace immediately adjoins the rear reception room and utility, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining whilst enjoying the peace and privacy of this delightful rural location.

Quebec Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in an idyllic countryside setting, combining character, generous living space and excellent versatility.
