Believed to date originally from the 17th Century and unlisted, Keepers Cottage has been extended significantly over the past few years to create a substantial house of great character.
Approached through an impressive reception hall with sweeping staircase and internal balcony, the ground floor includes three large reception rooms, each with traditional exposed beams opening out onto the rear terrace. Of particular note is the drawing room with beam mantle fireplace. The family room with log burner, provides a flexible space which then links the sitting room and kitchen.
The sitting room is a wonderfully large room with front and rear views and a grand inglenook fireplace. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with its very high specification programmable Aga, period fireplace with log burner and solid wood flooring, complements its traditional style with high quality bespoke solid wood fitted units with oak worktops; and ample space for family dining as well as access onto the rear terrace for informal dining and entertaining. The ground floor also includes a private study with a bay window overlooking the rear garden and a separate cloakroom and utility room.
To the first floor, the spacious master bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room, has an attractive beamed and vaulted ceiling and is accessed by staircase rising from a hallway. With two further staircases the first floor also includes a generously proportioned guest suite, again, featuring beamed and vaulted ceilings and benefitting from its own sitting room and en suite shower room, 3 further generously proportioned bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and a family bathroom, complete the accommodation.
Across the courtyard is a triple garage with spacious annexe to the first floor comprising of a sitting room, bedroom with dressing room, bathroom and kitchen, and would be suitable to comfortably accommodate an independent teenager, an employee, or guests.
Keepers Cottage is situated in a wooded part of Farley Hill. The house is approached via a gravelled tree lined drive with large turning courtyard at the front of the house also bordered by the triple garage and annexe. To the rear, a raised terrace extends the living space of the house out into the gardens with attractive walled borders and open views across the sloping lawn, to the paddock and stable block beyond and then onto the property’s private wood area.
