An attractive FOUR BEDROOM GRADE II LISTED family home located in the PICTURESQUE village of Enford. This charming thatched cottage has been RENOVATED to retain all of its original character whilst offering spacious contemporary living.


DESCRIPTION
‘Taylors’ in Longstreet is an immaculately presented detached Grade II Listed thatched family house with a mature garden, situated within the heart of the popular village Enford. The property dates from the late 18th Century to early 19th Century and was originally two cottages, constructed of rendered cob and limestone walls under a thatched roof. The property has been extended over the years and now provides a spacious family house retaining many period features including exposed beams and wood flooring. Most recently this stunning cottage has been the subject of extensive refurbishment by the current owner to an exceptional standard of quality - quite simply this cottage is breathtaking. The property has very good ceiling heights throughout.

An entrance hall leads through to the sitting room with wood flooring and an open fireplace housing a log burner and original bread oven. This leads through to the stunning kitchen/breakfast room, which is fully bespoke fitted with a full range of base and wall units. The dining room features a contemporary lantern roof giving the room a light and airy feel, and double doors lead out onto a completely private paved courtyard. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the master bedroom showcasing a concealed, refitted en-suite shower room in addition to the high-quality refitted family bathroom on the ground floor. This cottage must be viewed to fully appreciate its beauty.

OUTSIDE
The cottage has a large, gravelled driveway, with parking for two or three cars. There is a shed with mains power and a rather splendid hand-built children’s playhouse/tree house (in need of some
minor repair!). The garden is arranged to
include a raised seating area, offering far
reaching views across open fields and
assortment of apple, pear and ornamental
cherry trees, and other trees and bushes.
