6 bedroom house to rent
Introducing The Cottage—a truly exceptional and versatile property that offers a unique opportunity to live in a highly adaptable home. Situated on just under an acre of land, this remarkable estate encompasses a main house with a large extension which can function as an independent two-bedroom detached residence.
The main house is a perfect blend of comfort and luxury, designed with family living in mind. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. The ground floor boasts an expansive family living area, where a modern, luxurious kitchen becomes the heart of the home, offering views of the rear garden. Adjacent to this space is a utility room, a versatile playroom, which could be used as a ground floor bedroom with a potential of a walk-in wardrobe and a convenient WC.
Upstairs, an inviting landing leads to four generously-sized bedrooms. Three of these benefit from en-suite facilities, with the principal bedroom further enhanced by a Juliet balcony. A staircase from the principal bedroom ascends to a family dressing room and walk-in wardrobe, providing an abundance of storage and a touch of luxury.
Connected to the main house via a striking glass corridor, the extension effectively operates as a separate two-bedroom detached house. On the ground floor, it offers a spacious living room, a well-appointed kitchen, a WC, and a utility room. The first floor comprises two comfortable bedrooms and a main bathroom. This section of the property is ideal for extended family members seeking independent living while remaining close to the main household.
The extensive outdoor space is a key feature of The Cottage, with the property set on a plot measuring approximately 0.95 acres. The rear garden includes a large lawned area and a serene wooded section, providing a picturesque setting for relaxation and outdoor activities. Additionally, the garden features a versatile home office, which also functions as a home gym, and an outbuilding that currently serves as a beauty studio but could easily be repurposed as a home bar or other recreational space.
At the front of the property, off-street parking is available for over eight vehicles, making it convenient for both residents and visitors. The combination of these extensive facilities and the sheer adaptability of the property makes The Cottage a rare find on the market.
Access to the property is currently shared with a detached dwelling currently being used as a holiday let. The property has no mains gas or sewage instead heated by oil and cesspit.
