Fernham Cottage
Ermington's edge of village delight
A beautifully presented 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom character cottage with detached studio building standing in approximately half an acre has come available with Luscombe Maye Estate Agents.
Situated close to the Parish Church with its famous crooked spire, Fernham Cottage is located on the edge of the village of Ermington, which is set amid delightful countryside.
Fernham Cottage is a characterful detached property and is believed to have been built around 1780 and has recently undergone significant extension and improvement works.
There is a parking area for several vehicles and a quaint pedestrian timber bridge over the old Ermington Mill Leat leads to the cottage.
Upon entering the property through the well-appointed entrance porch with double-glazed windows and glass roof you are met with a very warm and inviting open plan kitchen/diner/snug. With a beamed ceiling and natural slate floor it really gives a warm reception and dual aspect windows provide plenty of natural light.
A beautiful featured natural stone surround fireplace with woodburner on a slate hearth completes the country cottage character. Steps lead up to the lounge, which has a vaulted beamed ceiling and exposed brick and stone walls.
Full height windows together with two sets of french doors lead to the garden and decked alfresco dining area. The decking area has ample space for a table and chairs and currently has a shade sail above making it a sheltered all seasons entertainment dining area with views of the garden, mill leat and beautiful open countryside.
The ground floor cloakroom with exposed natural stone walls and slate floor comprises a classic stand-alone cast iron bath, stand pipe taps and vanity unit creating a very tasteful and traditional look. The first floor provides three bedrooms and family shower room. The master bedroom with exposed stonewall and fireplace is full of character whilst the family shower room is modern with a fully tiled double shower unit.
On the west side of the property is a small vegetable and herb garden and on the east side the garden has recently been professionally landscaped, which is level and laid mainly to lawn with a beautiful Magnolia tree as the centre piece.
There are raised stone planting beds with flowering shrubs and borders together with the old Mill Leat running alongside the property. With the surrounding countryside the garden has a very open feel yet remains remarkably private.
The detached studio/ancillary accommodation was recently converted and extended to create a highly insulated bright and open south facing ancillary studio accommodation, which lends itself to a variety of uses.
Approximately one half of the building is built of natural stone walls, whilst the other half is constructed of timber frame and double-glazed in a Victorian Orangery style. It comprises of a studio with vaulted ceilings, woodburner, telephone line and internet ports along with extensive electrical sockets.
A shower room with fully tiled double shower unit with electric shower. Separate cloakroom and a large storage cupboard. Fernham Cottage is being offered at £399,950 by the Sole Selling Agents Luscombe Maye.
