The Property
Oak Tree Cottage is a superb country property built circa 1850, formerly the Coachman’s Cottage and stable buildings to the neighbouring Ledsham Hall. The front door opens into an outer reception hall with cloaks, with double doors opening into a reception hall with access to a cloakroom with WC.


At the heart of the house is the kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke cabinets under granite worksurfaces including a broad range of quality Neff integral appliances. The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses and has space to accommodate a large breakfast table. Off the kitchen is a fitted utility room, with drainer sink unit, plumbing for laundry appliances
and a door leads to the front courtyard. Adjoining the kitchen is a well-proportioned dining room with lovely views through a pretty bay window.


The principal reception room is particularly spacious, also enjoying exposed roof trusses, and an exposed brick chimneypiece housing a contemporary living-flame gas basket fireplace, with slate hearth. An adjoining study is equipped with a bank of bespoke bookcases and views to the courtyard. It should be noted, a section of the
adjoining garage could quite easily be converted and incorporated into the house linked by the study to create additional living space, should it be required (subject to any consents required).


The bedroom accommodation is fittingly positioned within one end of the property, with two double bedrooms to the ground floor,
one with an en suite WC, along with a luxurious family bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite, including a bath and shower cubicle. To the first floor are two further bedrooms served by a
