Owners Comments
\"The restoration of the cottage was extensive including a new roof, replacing many of the existing timbers, re-plumbing and re-wiring in addition to a new kitchen and bathroom.\"
\"It has been a delight watching the cottage gardens change over the seasons and enjoying the spectacular views over the adjoining varied countryside.\"
Introduction
The Drove has undergone significant structural improvements and refurbishment in recent times but has preserved its period integrity retaining much of the character and charm evoked from its era including exposed beams and timbers, original solid oak doors and a magnificent inglenook fireplace. Positioned in a most secluded setting with extensive views across farmland and picturesque lakes, the property benefits from pretty formal gardens, as well as varied outbuildings serving a multitude of potential purposes. Beautifully presented with a new kitchen and luxurious bathroom suite the house is currently not listed and has planning consent for a major two storey extension adding to its current 1700sqft of historic accommodation.
The enchanting history of this home is apparent from every consideration and its idyllic setting is truly exquisite approached via a pretty 200 yard driveway following the Blackwater River through light woodland.
Description
An impressive, original oak door with wrought iron furnishings open to the grand entrance porch and a glazed internal door leads to the entrance hall. The beauty and charm of its original era has not been lost within The Drove and the exposed beams and quirky split staircase within the hallway are typical of its character throughout. The sitting room is delightful, dual in aspect with a new double glazed door to the garden and is centred upon the stunning Inglenook brick fireplace with brass cover, tiled hearth and bread oven.
The kitchen has been refitted with oak units and a pine boiler cupboard and offers a breakfast area in addition to a large understairs cupboard. The dining room is also dual in aspect with a tiled fireplace hosting an antique woodburning stove. The split staircase leads to a generous landing hosting three vaulted bedrooms, one of which benefits from recessed wardrobes and the original fireplace. The family bathroom has been beautifully refitted to provide a freestanding roll top bath with traditional style shower above, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
Outside
The property is approached via an extensive tarmacadam drive through attractive woodland following the Blackwater River and a gravel driveway finally reaches this beautiful home culminating in a large parking and turning area. The gardens encompass the house and adjoins open farmland to the rear and enjoys lake views to the fore making it a truly idyllic setting, screened by mature trees and shrubs. The grounds extend to approximately two acres and are predominantly lawned with feature borders and a small orchard.
