About this property

Believed to have originally served as the Coach House and stables to Church Farm House next door, Mews Cottage is a distinctive detached home of attractive stone and knapped flint, dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Extensively renovated and sympathetically extended over the years, it now offers versatile, beautifully presented accommodation suited to modern family living.

The accommodation is both spacious and characterful, centred around an elegant sitting room featuring a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a log burner, creating a wonderful focal point to the home. The farmhouse-style kitchen was comprehensively remodelled and refitted and is well equipped with a range of quality cabinetry, integrated appliances and an impressive Rangemaster cooker. Flowing naturally from the kitchen is a comfortable family room, whilst a separate dining room provides an excellent setting for formal entertaining and family gatherings. Practical additions include a cloakroom and useful ancillary spaces, with terracotta tiled flooring extending throughout much of the ground floor. The first floor offers exceptional flexibility, comprising four bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite facility.

Of particular note is the self-contained annexe suite, which has previously been utilised as guest and holiday accommodation. Providing a bedroom, bathroom and open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, this space offers excellent potential for multi-generational living, independent guest accommodation, a home office suite or, subject to requirements, incorporation into the main house as an impressive principal bedroom suite.

Outside
Outside, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting close to the entrance of Church Furlong, a small private close within the heart of the village. Mature gardens wrap around the cottage and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive outdoor spaces. To the front, neatly maintained lawns, established planting and clipped box hedging provide a charming approach. To the rear, a delightful walled garden offers a sheltered and secluded environment, featuring a generous paved courtyard terrace ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. There are also useful external stores, a covered seating area and private parking. In addition, a further parcel of land opposite the cottage provides additional parking for several vehicles, a rare and valuable asset within a village setting.

Situation
The property is situated in the heart of the village of Stapleford, set amidst picturesque countryside in the beautiful Wylye Valley. The village benefits from many footpaths and by-ways giving incredible walking and cycling in the local area.
