4 bedroom cottage for sale

An idyllic, private cottage garden that extends to around 100’ with a southerly aspect, a very flexible, sympathetic extension and bags of original character features, are just a few features of this utterly charming, semi-detached cottage that we believe dates back to the 1790’s. The lucky owners/custodians have loved every moment of living at Tamarisk Cottage, originally choosing it because of its age, charm and potential, knowing they could create their dream home and garden. The property sits in the heart of Downton on a level plot that approaches 0.2 acres and offers both spacious versatile accommodation. It has been sympathetically improved, retaining much of its original charm and also cleverly extended, with ground floor accommodation coming off the utility room (with a separate entrance if needed) that could very easily be used as an annexe. Alternatively, the extension could be used as an extra bedroom or reception room. The first floor lies host to a master bedroom suite with large dressing room (formerly two bedrooms), a further bedroom and modern family shower room. The ground floor briefly comprises a cosy beamed sitting room with log burner, which is open to a generous dining room, a fabulous conservatory/garden room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, snug, utility room, rear lobby, shower room and large drawing room. The light and airy kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a comprehensive range of units with roll-edge worktops and tiled splashbacks. Fitted appliances include a dishwasher, double oven, microwave hob and extractor/filter hood. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room. From the kitchen is the rear lobby with plenty of storage and doors to the side path and the dual aspect sitting/drawing room. This wonderful room is part of the extension and like most of the rooms in the property, enjoys breath-taking views over the gardens. Also accessed from the lobby is the 2nd, contemporary style shower room. This much loved home further benefits from gas central heating (new boiler installed 2024/2025) and double glazing. The rear garden is accessed by doors from the conservatory and drawing/sitting room. It has been painstakingly landscaped to provide colour and texture ‘year round’ with various peaceful seating areas, perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is a expansive, well-kept lawn, stocked flower and shrub beds, a timber storage shed, all enclosed by solid brick walls. A path from the garden leads down the side of the property and out to the front via a lockable gate.
