The Anchorage is a charming five-bedroom period property of limestone and red-brick construction, occupying a generous and established plot of just over a quarter of an acre, complete with a gated driveway and detached purpose-built office, situated in the popular village of Cottesmore.
GROUND FLOOR
The property is bursting with character throughout, featuring exposed beams, stone flooring and a wealth of original period features, all beautifully complemented by the current owners' renovations to create a comfortable modern home.
A spacious entrance hall provides access to the various ground floor rooms. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and is fitted with a comprehensive range of pippy oak units, complemented by integrated appliances and space for a range-style cooker and retro fridge freezer. A door from the kitchen leads into the breakfast room, which enjoys pleasant views over the garden.
To the front of the property are two generous reception rooms, comprising a living room and a snug. Both are filled with natural light and benefit from log-burning stoves, with the principal living room centred around a charming inglenook fireplace. To the rear of the property is a well-proportioned dining room overlooking the garden, featuring a dual-sided log burner shared with the breakfast room.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room with additional storage and space for white goods, a pantry and a cloakroom/WC.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases. The original, old pine staircase rises from the front of the property onto a large landing area and leads to three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The primary bedroom is served by an en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The secondary staircase leads to a separate landing, providing access to two further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, older children or multi-generational living.
OUTSIDE
Externally, the property occupies a generous and beautifully established plot extending to just over a quarter of an acre. The grounds are fully enclosed by a combination of stone and brick walls together with timber fencing, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The property is approached via double timber gates opening onto a cobbled apron and gravelled driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to the double garage.
The gardens have been thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas. To the right-hand side of the driveway is the principal lawned garden, complemented by mature planting and a summer house perfectly positioned to enjoy all day sunshine. Beyond the house, on the opposite side of the driveway, is a further lawned area with a beautifully landscaped and secluded seating terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. This area flows into a further area with a woodland feel, featuring established trees, well-stocked borders, a stream with bridges and meandering pathways. Offering a high degree of privacy, this peaceful section provides a wonderful contrast to the lawned and patio areas. The garden is completed by a charming, small gravelled garden area with an established raised bed and a small space for outdoor seating which catches the evening sun.
PURPOSE-BUILT OFFICE BUILDING
Completing the property's accommodation, and worthy of special mention, is the purpose-built detached office building, currently utilised as a home office by the vendors. Being fully self-contained and benefiting from its own kitchenette and WC, it offers exceptional versatility and could be adapted for a variety of uses, including ancillary accommodation, a holiday let (subject to the necessary consents), a studio, or independent living space for older children or visiting family members.
