A most attractive Grade II listed village home, constructed from charming whitewashed stone elevations and, in part, dating back to the mid-17th century. Originally two separate cottages, the property has been thoughtfully combined and extended in more recent years to create exceptional family accommodation of considerable character and period appeal. Internally, the cottage enjoys three reception rooms, including a superb 19’ sitting room featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace, together with a spacious dining room with open fireplace and slate tiled floor. In addition, there is a useful study providing ideal home-working space or an additional reception room. The rear of the property was comprehensively remodelled in 2025 to create a stunning contemporary open-plan kitchen/family room, fitted with an extensive range of Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by quartz worktops and a central island. This exceptional space features underfloor heating and is partly glazed, flooding the room with natural light, with double doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond. Further accommodation includes a practical utility room and cloakroom. To the first floor, the cottage offers a spacious principal bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and a beautifully upgraded bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle. The remaining bedrooms are served by a generous family bathroom complete with corner bath. Outside, Winslade Cottage occupies mature secluded gardens adjoining open farmland, affording a high degree of privacy together with far-reaching views. To the front, the property is set well back from the road behind a substantial driveway providing extensive off-street parking. The rear gardens are a particular feature, incorporating a large terrace rising onto areas of lawn enjoying outstanding views across open countryside. The mature plot extends to the side of the cottage an includes a fully insulated timber summer house.
