A uniquely beautiful 6 bedroom 17th century country house and barn, with some later additions. Valuably unlisted.

Great House Cottage enjoys a secluded and idyllic location, surrounded by its own grounds, with fine views over undulating wooded countryside. Set on high ground, and entered from a long private drive, with no visible near neighbours.

The two paddocks have been well-maintained with separate access for horses and maintenance from the stable yard which has a concrete apron, 3 generous loose boxes, a large hay store at one end. There are lots of footpaths in the area and adjacent bridleway for the equestrian enthusiast.

The current vendors extensively extended one end of the property (to create a drawing room, and large bedroom with dressing room and en suite) after they purchased the property in 2005, using high quality materials and the new building matches in superbly to the older parts of the property.

There are many large windows and high ceilings throughout, giving lots of light, very important for this period of property.
