COOLEVEN
Originally serving as the gate lodge to Stonebrook Estate, Cooleven combines timeless elegance and rustic charm. Re-built circa 1989, the cottage welcomes you via an impressive entrance with beautiful gates, leading to a gravel driveway around to the front door. As you step inside, you are greeted by a light-filled entrance hall with skylight.
The heart of Cooleven is its inviting living spaces, thoughtfully designed to showcase the surrounding natural beauty. The kitchen, equipped with fitted units, offers stunning views of the garden and the stream can be heard in the kitchen as it runs mere meters from the large windows. A spacious living area, centred around a large wood-burning stove, encourages one to unwind and relax.
A built-in pantry, laundry room and hot press add to the functionality of the space. Continuing on, is a dining area that takes in breathtaking views of the stream, perfect for dinner parties and enjoying the serene atmosphere while listening to the stream burbling past. A sitting room, complete with an original cast iron fireplace and box bay window, again taking in views from the garden, is the ideal space to escape.
The main bedroom is an inviting space with built-in wardrobes, offering ample storage while also providing panoramic views of the surrounding woodland area. A second bedroom is also conveniently located off the main hall. The family bathroom is beautifully finished, featuring tiled floors with underfloor heating, subway wall tiles, a wet room shower area with a modern rain shower with luxury fittings, and an indulgent bath with classic taps and a washbasin built into a cabinet unit.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens and land surrounding Cooleven are a true paradise for nature lovers. A gravelled patio area offers a tranquil spot to admire the cascading stream and soak in the sounds of nature. An expansive outdoor storage shed provides practical storage solutions, ideal for housing tools and wood supplies. The meticulously landscaped gardens are a riot of colour from early spring as hellebores, snowdrops and daffodils give way to the bluebells, cherry blossom and wild garlic of early summer before displaying it’s full glory, as the traditional cottage garden featuring roses, peonies, phlox, nepeta and geraniums amongst a host of others, bursts into bloom.
This plethora of flora creates a vibrant tapestry of colours. To the rear of the property is an expansive field, bounded by mature trees, hedgerows and the stream, which is ideal for grazing.
