Cottage on the Bank, Ebbesbourne Wake

DESCRIPTION
This handsome cottage is originally thought to have been a pair of cottages now sympathetically re-instated into one house. It has attractive brick & stone elevations under a thatch and tile roof.

Internally the house offers well laid reception rooms, hosting
a wealth of period features including flagstone flooring
throughout the ground floor, inglenook and open fireplaces,
exposed beams and fitted shelving. The farmhouse style kitchen has a range of traditional cupboards and a 2 oven oil fired Aga, Miele oven, central island and larder cupboard.
On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, one with an
ensuite bathroom, the other an ensuite shower. Bedroom 3 has an impressive vaulted ceiling. A dressing room / bedroom 4 and family bathroom with shower completes the accommodation upstairs. There is underfloor heating in the Sitting room, Snug, Hall and Family bathroom. For room layouts and dimensions please see floor plans.

OUTSIDE
Approached from the lane is a driveway with parking for 3 cars, beside a garage with electric up and over door (this is also integral to the main house). The pretty gardens are mainly to the rear and can be approached via picket gates at the front or to the side. The lower section of the garden is largely terraced, with a charming oak framed Loggia area which is ideal for al-fresco dining. Flagstone steps lead up to upper lawns interspersed with apple trees and seating areas.

The garden is enclosed by wooden fencing and along the western boundary is a high wall, wood store and raised vegetable beds (in need of repair). From this area there are fine views to the downland on the eastern side of the valley.
In the southern corner is a timber summer house, which has
been used as an office, with separate WC, power and Wi-Fi.
Adjoining is a chicken run and small area of scrub & trees along the bank. In all the gardens extend to about 0.7 acres.

The cottage is located in the heart of the village opposite the
renowned pub The Horseshoe Inn. Ebbesbourne Wake is a highly desirable village in the middle of the Chalke Valley.
