1 NEW COTTAGES is a truly exceptional semi-detached family home located within the Shortgrove Estate which really is a truly wonderful and idyllic location which encapsulates wooded open countryside and farmland, over which the property enjoys spectacular views. The historic Shortgrove Estate itself incorporates an array of individual homes surrounded by acres of private parkland designed by Capability Brown, over which residents have access to. There is a long, tree-lined approach into the Estate, whereby after travelling for several hundred meters you will find the property towards the very centre of this stunning environment. The property itself provides nicely proportioned and well balanced living accommodation, impeccably presented throughout and complemented by stylish internal décor.
An open porch sits above a front door, but at present the entrance into the property is via a side door which leads into the utility room and in turn into the kitchen. There is an impressive sitting room with a feature fireplace and log burning stove, staircase to the first floor, two large exposed timber beams, window to the front and built-in storage. To one side there is a home office/family room providing excellent space which could be used for a variety of purposes, with a window to the front and exposed brick fire breast.
The kitchen/family/dining room stretches across the back of the house and has views across the rear garden/countryside beyond and really is a stunning feature of this home. The kitchen is well equipped with an extensive range of storage cupboards complemented by Silestone worktops including a large central island. There are a number of integrated appliances including two ovens, induction hob, dishwasher and wine cooler. There are bi-folding doors, windows and full-height glazed panels on two sides drawing in good amounts of natural light to the area which also has the advantage of under-floor heating. Just set to one side and linking with the kitchen is a cosy snug area creating a lovely additional sitting room, adjacent to which is a ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to the 4 bedrooms; the master featuring double glazed double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony enjoying views over surrounding countryside. There are built-in wardrobes and a well appointed en suite shower room. Bedroom 2 also has built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room which is in addition to an extremely well appointed family bathroom with a 4-piece suite including a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower.
OUTSIDE, a gravelled driveway leads to the front of the house and garden which features a number of raised timber planters. To one side, there is a large gravelled parking area for numerous vehicles and, at the rear, the gardens are laid predominantly to lawn. There is a large paved terrace at the back of the property providing ideal space for entertaining, taking full advantage of the super surrounding views. There is also a timber summer house provides additional useful space. In all, the plot extends to about 0.3 of an acre.
