BLUEBELL COTTAGE

A modern English country cottage in a peaceful village on the Northamptonshire and Warwickshire borders.

KEY FEATURES

Bluebell Cottage was constructed approximately 25 years ago by a renowned local builder in the peaceful village of Stanford on Avon, close to the grounds and parkland of Stanford Hall, and a two minute walk from the beautiful Grade I listed church. The property has the attraction of electric wrought iron gates leading to a gravelled driveway with off-road parking for several vehicles and direct access to a detached double garage with electric door.

The house itself has four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, built-in cabinetry and wardrobes and a superb outlook onto the rear garden and countryside beyond. There is a four-piece family bathroom and a further three bedrooms accessed from the spacious landing, which also has views over the neighbouring fields and gardens. On the ground floor, there is a spacious tiled hallway with double doors leading to the sitting room which has windows to both front and side aspect and double-glazed doors through to the rear terrace.

There is also access from the hallway to a cloakroom, a formal dining room which has a window to the front, and a useful work from home office with built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The kitchen/ breakfast room located at the rear of the property enjoys attractive views of the gardens. There are beech style base and wall mounted units, a four ring gas hob with additional halogen hob, a built-in microwave and single electric oven. There is a dishwasher and access to a neighbouring utility room which houses the central heating boiler, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer and a matching tiled floor.

Outside

The house occupies an enviable plot of just shy of a third of an acre, with gardens overlooking a neighbouring paddock to the rear and open fields across the Clay Coton Road. There is a double garage and ample off street parking to the front with electric gates. The garden can be accessed from the front of the property via two side pedestrian pathways whilst the rear is laid mainly to lawn with two ornamental ponds linked together by way of a water feature. The rear boundary is lined with mature trees, providing natural privacy and shelter whilst to the right-hand boundary there are carefully trained fruit trees working their way around the panel fencing. There is a small side garden with timber shed, access to the double garage and the oil tank and propane gas cylinders for the hob and gas fire in the sitting room.
