The house is approached via a landscaped courtyard which leads to a character door that opens in to an entrance vestibule. The entrance vestibule is large enough for a seating area and book case, should one be required. The room guides guests on to the various aspects of the living quarters on the ground floor, as well as providing one of the two stair cases up onto the first floor. Accessed from the left-hand side of the entrance vestibule is the study and one of the W/C’s. Next along is the garden room, which is currently set up as an office; the room has a twopoint aspect and is a great addition to the extensive living arrangement. The sitting room contains two sets of double doors that open inwards from the garden and morning rooms. The sitting room is awash with light courtesy of four sets of windows. There is also a beautiful, feature fireplace at the heart of the room. The morning room is ideally suited for enjoying a coffee in on a Sunday morning. The kitchen / breakfast room is well-positioned within the orientation of the house. There are wall and base mounted units on three sides and a moveable central island-cabinet. There are integrated NEF appliances and a lovely country AGA. Around the corner from the kitchen-breakfast room is the large utility room; there are units on three sides and space to accommodate some of the less appealing appliances, such as washing machines. An internal lobby guides guests from the kitchen/ breakfast room through to the dining room which has an outlook on to the side courtyard and double doors out on to the raised terrace. The dining room is also within in a few short steps of the second W/C on this floor. The final room on the ground floor is the drawing room. With plenty of space on offer in the drawing room, double doors open on to the front garden and a quaint fireplace centres the occupants attention.

If the surrounding setting was not enough, Garden Cottage occupies its own 2.4 acre plot (STM). The gardens of this house are enclosed in a beautiful Grade II listed wall. Whilst a stunning character feature, that easily complements the surrounding location, the wall adds a further sense of privacy to the substantial idyll. A private road on to the Wormleybury Estate leads down to Garden Cottage. Security gates open in to a large, independent in-&-out driveway which connects to the front of the house and carport. The carport is set to one side of the plot, out of view of the main house. The rear garden is largely laid to lawn with a handful of mature trees positioned throughout the lawn and some well-established shrubs along some of the borders and edges. A well-maintained wild-flower border straddles one stretch of the wall which is adjacent to the raised terrace. Along the same stretch of wall, there are two wrought-iron gated entrances in to the gardens from the front of the plot: one for pedestrians and the other for larger vehicles such as ride-on lawnmowers. Hidden away in this corner is the current owner’s garden shed and historic Victorian greenhouse, which is still in use today. Along from the greenhouse is the pool-house. The pool-house is comprised of a kitchenette, accompanying leisure area and a changing room. Double doors from the pool-house open on to the paved terrace that surrounds the sunken, heated swimming pool. The swimming pool has steps at one end that lead down in to the water. Centred on the lawn is the covered band stand. The bandstand is the perfect spot for having a summer tea party or evening BBQ. The sides roll up to reveal beautiful scenery all round. If the poolside seating area or band stand aren’t suitable for your outdoor entertaining needs, the aforementioned raised terrace, attached to the rear of the house, and side courtyard will definitely fulfil any further requirements you may have. The terrace boasts a beautiful pergola which is adorned with wisteria and has ample space for multiple tables with stunning rear aspects. The courtyard to the side of the house, which has a pedestrian door in to the main body of residence, and gates to the front and rear garden, has been landscaped to feel just as much a part of the scenery as the rest of the other wonderful features in the garden. In one corner of the courtyard is small building known to the owner as ‘the chapel’. The one room building includes a stunning stain-glass window, exquisite masonry work and a kiln (due to the owner previously using it as a hobby room). It is truly the perfect place to enjoy one’s family away from the hustle and bustle of work and the City.
