Adjoining Abbotts Barton Farmhouse, the cottage provides flexible, self-contained accommodation with the option of access directly from the farmhouse or via its own private entrance. Currently utilised as part of the main house, it could readily be separated to create a fully independent annexe. The cottage has been renovated to the same exceptional standard as the principal living accommodation and comprises a charming kitchen/dining room with a flagstone floor, a separate sitting room with a beautiful stone fireplace and direct access to the rear garden. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while a large cellar provides valuable additional space.

The well established grounds have been designed and landscaped to offer secluded and elegant entertaining spaces. They remain manageable in size whilst ensuring security and privacy. The grounds include a superb walled garden with mature herbaceous borders to the front of the house, a cherry tree lined driveway abutting a small orchard, a herb/kitchen garden with workshop, an attractive fruit and vegetable garden to the rear of the property leading onto an Alitex greenhouse.

A bespoke architecturally designed stone and flint double garage with workshop, built for classic car storage, but equally ideal as dry storage or potential gym space. In addition there is a pretty brick and flint dovecot which adds further charm and doubles as a wood store
