A Charming Country Cottage



Nestled in the heart of the village of East Ogwell  is this wonderful semi-detached cottage which is brimming with many character features. The Grade II listed property has been sympathetically refurbished over recent years to offer the discerning buyer a comfortably proportioned characterful home which embraces a rural style yet seamlessly incorporates the comforts of modern day living.



The rustic entrance of the centrally heated cottage welcomes you into a warm and inviting sitting room with large recessed stone fireplace enclosing a multi fuel stove.  The windows to the double aspect room have been crafted from individually made timber frame double glazed windows with window seats whilst the beamed ceiling and brace and latch doors nod to the age of the property. The kitchen / dining area is fitted in a farmhouse style with bespoke solid pine fronted units, Stanley™ range cooker, Belfast sink and solid stone floor and this theme is continued into the utility porch  located  just off the kitchen.  A stairway  with strip timber rail and spindles leads off the dining area up to the first floor accommodation where brace and  latch doors open to the master bedroom with beamed ceiling and modern en suite shower room fitted in a period style with quadrant shower. There is also a second bedroom which overlooks the rear garden and an additional shower room fitted with a matching suite.


 A hidden gem to the property is its generously sized cottage style enclosed rear garden. Presented in three main areas with a mixture of natural stone walls, timber fencing and natural boundaries the garden boasts a large two tier flagstone patio  which immediately adjoins the side and rear of the cottage to provide a sheltered and secluded alfresco dining area.  A stone wall stepped pathway leads up to a higher paved patio area  and charming lawned garden with mature shrub planting and a tiered vegetable garden with raised planters.

If your curiosity has been roused by this embracing village cottage and you would like to know more Michael Griffiths, partner at independent estate agents Coast & Country, urges you to contact him for further details and to arrange an appointment, not just to view but to ‘try it on for size’. Offered for sale at an asking price of £299,950.

The UK Property Awards are part of the long established International Property Awards and its award winners’ logo is recognised as a symbol of excellence throughout the global industry. Attaining one of these coveted awards is indisputable evidence that Coast and Country is capable of beating some exceedingly strong contenders within the highly competitive UK property arena.

Later this year, the highest scoring winners from the UK Property Awards will compete against other winning companies from Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas and Arabia to find the ultimate World’s Best in each category. Stuart Shield, president of the International Property Awards, says, “We introduced a new Landscape Architecture category this year and this has been well contested as have several new Interior Design sub-categories. Guernsey in the Channel Islands has also taken part in the Best Estate Agency category for the first time this year.

“The quality of entries has been extremely high once again and there’s no doubt that any company to win one of these awards has shown exceptional levels of professionalism and competence in their respective field.”
