GROUND FLOOR
The cottage has several entrances, the front door opening to welcoming reception hallways which encompass dining area and separate cloakroom. A large handmade oak and painted kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the property. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke wall and base units; Corian worktops; a central island; several integrated appliances to include a SMEG Range Cooker; whilst the living space features a stone fireplace with a log-burner. There is also a walk-in pantry which is accessed via stone steps - a perfect addition to the kitchen. Together with a set of five-metre sliding doors which open to a south-facing patio area, this space is perfect for modern family living. Highlights to the east of the property include a generous second feeder kitchen to the east side barbecue area and a laundry room with a good range of wall and base units plus plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a cloakroom; an office / library, perfect for home working; and a sitting room complete with a feature fireplace. Of note regarding the layout of Lilac Cottage is that every room benefits from beautiful garden or countryside views.

FIRST FLOOR
Accessed via the entrance hallway the first floor opens to five bedrooms. There is a generous bedroom complete with a dressing area – the latter having originally been the sixth bedroom and originally converted into a cot room and more recently a dressing area whilst retaining separate access. This room also has a sunken master ensuite. The next bedroom, again of a generous size, is served by a large modern bathroom complete with a four-piece suite and beautiful views. ****The other three bedrooms share a central modern family bathroom with a three-piece suite. Bathroom fixtures and fittings are of a good quality throughout the property.

DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE / OUTBUILDING
This itself is an impressive outbuilding which, aside from parking cars – benefits from an upstairs room with vaulted ceiling which has had many uses over the years as the family have grown. The property was bought including planning permission for an ancillary dwelling in the garage. It has been a home office; a floral workshop; and a party room. However, there are more recent drawings completed for conversion into AirBnB or annex accommodation.

EXTERIOR
Externally, the property fits beautifully with the internal workings of the house. Designed by a Gold winner at Chelsea Flower Show, the private grounds have been landscaped to ensure that gardens are enjoyed by all throughout the seasons. To the front of the property, is a pea gravel driveway **** with parking space for multiple vehicles leading to a detached double garage. The north side of the property, whilst largely laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging, has recent planning permission to convert to a driveway - with borders already landscaped to fit. To the east side of the property, the outside space provides much opportunity for hosting, with a hot tub, sauna, an artic cabin with a central firepit, and a Texplay II carpet tennis court. The sun can be enjoyed late into the evening which, indeed, emphasizes the well-designed layout of the garden. There are also eight large vegetable and fruit raised beds and green houses. To the south side of the property, there is a well-placed patio area accessed via the kitchen sliding doors. A complete sun trap, the area incorporates scented flowers and is enclosed by the most beautiful Wisteria sinensis; and again makes for an enviable setting to be enjoyed by all!
