A picturesque cottage with a total of about 1.44 acres and superb equestrian facilities in the hamlet of Aisby

Description
Retaining a wealth of character, April Cottage sits in the heart of the hamlet offering a deceptive amount of gardens and land that extends to about 1.4 acres and is ideal for equestrian use. The extensive facilities and grounds include a 45x27m arena, home office, four stables (including a foaling box), hay store and outbuilding with its own road access. There is an additional 3.1 acres of land further along the road, available by separate negotiation to purchase or rent.

Beautifully presented, the cottage combines original features with modern finishing touches and benefits from off-road parking and a detached home office. The charming layout of the home extends to over 1300 sq ft and includes a reception room with feature fireplace, a double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.

Behind a traditional yellow stone facade, a picture perfect home offers charm and character with exposed beams, brickwork and wood floors, while the equestrian facilities offer a host of possibilities. On the ground floor the welcoming entrance leads directly into a homely sitting room with a focal point log burner. The light filled double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a superb solid oak floor opens onto the south-facing garden and is fully fitted with traditional wood cabinets and countertops that accommodate a range cooker. An adjoining boot room has further access to the garden and an excellent ground floor shower room has a feature wall and beams. The first-floor accommodation features three generous bedrooms, including a double aspect main bedroom that looks over the grounds and has ample fitted storage, and a further family bathroom.

The extensive south-facing gardens to the rear of the cottage are mainly laid to lawn generating a wonderful amount of space for al fresco dining. A vegetable garden is ideal for gardeners and a home office/studio gives dedicated business space. Together with a private driveway a detached single garage supplies ample off-road parking.
