On the market with Bedfords, Coe’s Cottage is a detached period home which was largely rebuilt in the early 1980s and further extended in 2004.
Accommodation now extends to around 2,000 sq ft, and several original features have been reclaimed to create a unique and spacious living space.
The modern garden room is a particular highlight of Coe’s Cottage’s interior, with its vaulted, beamed ceiling, French external doors and large, arched feature window overlooking the garden.
The cosy, triple-aspect sitting room with red-brick fireplace sits at the rear of the property and opens into the dining room, which has re-laid brick floors and open studwork to the reception hall, also with re-laid brick floors as well as exposed brickwork and timbers.
At the front of Coe’s Cottage lies the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys views over the grounds through an arched feature window, a range of oak-fronted base and eye-level units and a matching central island.
Appliances include an integrated double oven, electric hob and dishwasher, and there is access to a rear hallway with an adjoining pantry and cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a landing area with multiple storage cupboards, and four bedrooms with character features and their own fitted wardrobes. They are all served by a modern tiled bathroom with a shower cubicle and separate bath.
The cottage’s 1.5-acre grounds provide a lush, rural retreat with expansive lawns, a range of mature trees and shrubs and a sunken garden area which would make an ideal spot for gardeners to show off their skills.
There is also an area designated for kitchen gardens, a greenhouse and a number of timber sheds.
The property is surrounded by countryside and farmland and is approached from the village road onto a gravelled driveway with parking for several cars and a detached garage.
