Description

Hay Lane Cottage sits on a stunning plot approaching 7.5 acres and occupies an idyllic position on a private country lane in the village of Fulmer. The cottage offers potential to extend subject to the usual planning consents. The area has numerous walks and benefits from a friendly and active community. This delightful Victorian home was originally two cottages and retains much of its original charm and character.

The accommodation is well presented with a host of character features throughout. A garden path leads to the entrance porch which in turn opens into the delightful reception hall, complete with a fireplace, built in cabinetry and a guest cloakroom. The reception space comprises a pretty triple aspect sitting room with a decorative fireplace and open fire, formal dining room opening into the spacious, vaulted garden room, with large feature windows overlooking the garden and with French doors opening on to the terrace. Double doors between the dining and garden rooms allow for a more open plan layout. Just off this room is a family room of good proportions with doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys lovely views over the garden and is well equipped with a range of recently fitted units, retaining the character of a country home, and there is ample room for a table. Beyond the kitchen the laundry facilities are neatly tucked in a utility/boot room with a door to the garden.

On the first floor are four characterful bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with both a bath and shower cubicle.

The gardens and grounds are a real feature of Hay Lane Cottage and provide an enchanting backdrop with a formal area of garden, expanses of woodland and meadow offering seclusion and privacy. A terrace area to the rear gives a perfect spot for outside dining. In addition is a driveway with an adjacent double garage with further access points from the lane.
