With abundant exposed black timber beams stretching out overhead and leaded windows looking out onto the greenery of the gardens at every opportunity, Rivendell Cottage engenders all the character and elegance you could hope for in a period home.
Behind the gabled entrance porch of a double fronted facade with hung tiles, a duo of double aspect reception rooms interconnect via demi glazed doors giving a hugely fluid feel perfect for both family life and evenings hosting friends at key moments in your life. Lending a supremely calm and cohesive feel, cool white walls feature throughout giving a classic contrast to the beams and detailing of the windows. With the rich tones of a solid wood floor underfoot, while the beautiful living room has a magnificent exposed brick inglenook fireplace, the formal dining room has the focal point of its own refined fireplace and superb solid wood wall panelling framing traditional latch doors to the adjoining double aspect study and kitchen.
Sympathetically chosen yet designed with modern family life in mind, the excellently sized kitchen pairs Shaker-style cabinetry and the eternal charm of a butler sink with contemporary black granite countertops that supply a wealth of workspace. A peninsula breakfast bar is equally suited for a morning coffee or to sit and catch up on the day’s events over a glass of wine while you cook in the evenings. The considered layout is designed to accommodate a freestanding range cooker, fridge freezer and washing machine, and tastefully chosen French doors proffer a seamless connection with the patio. Versatile to your own lifestyle needs, the study is a haven when working from home yet could easily become a TV or play room if preferred. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Follow the turning staircase up to the first floor and you’ll find the elegance, character and leafy vistas echoed through a series of four light filled double bedrooms. Impressively proportioned, the main and second bedrooms each have the added benefit of modern en suite shower rooms. Sitting peacefully to rear, the third and plentiful storage within a wall of fitted wardrobes and together with the equally notable fourth bedroom it shares a superb family bathroom where a freestanding roll top bath with claw feet and telephone taps takes centre stage. Arranged in the soft tones of a brick tile setting with pops of colour from feature mosaics, the excellently presented suite includes a separate walk-in shower.
Outside
Tucked back from Petworth Road behind a prodigious gravel driveway framed by conifer hedging, Rivendell Cottage has an enviable measure of private off-road parking. A detached timber garage sits hidden to the side, while the tiers of raised lawns wrap-around the cottage providing a hugely secluded and tranquil environment in which to relax and unwind. The French doors of the kitchen tempt you out onto a large patio for al fresco drinks and dining with family and friends, and timber framed flowerbeds are peppered with mature shrubs and leafy trees that lend dappled shade.
