DESCRIPTION
Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring this quintessential country home to the market. A beautifully presented Grade II Listed cottage with an impressive contemporary and tasteful extension, sat in an acre of grounds, nestled into the heart of the countryside just outside of Blackawton village.
A stunning glass panelled front door opens into a large modern entrance hall, providing access to most of the principal rooms. The impressive curved architecture of the extension has created a spacious kitchen dining room that captivates the immersive countryside views. The kitchen comprises matching hand built floor and wall units and a central island all with silestone worktop and stone floor tiles. The island is home to the breakfast bar and a double Belfast sink which overlooks the garden. There is a stylish electric Everhot range situated within the units and space for double fridge freezer beyond. The floor to ceiling Crittal glass windows, mirrored on either side of the extension, open onto the large terrace and the skylight above the dining space allows for further natural light to flood the room.
Separate from the kitchen is a useful utility room with space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble dryer, sink and worktop space. Set to the side of the entrance hall, a snug room with featured panelling, original flagstone tiles and a stable door, offers itself to be a very versatile area and leads to further living space.
The living room is complemented by the painted wood beam ceiling and a large, exposed stone fireplace with original bread oven and a central wood burner highlighting the original features of the cottage. A few steps lead to a bedroom with a mezzanine area, which is considered another versatile room within the home.
The original stone newell staircase ascends to the first floor landing which provides access to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master suite benefits from dual aspect windows framing the breath taking views .There is a tasteful ensuite bathroom with tiled floor, walk in rainfall shower, W.C and double hand basin, and a dressing room with plenty of fitted hanging space.
