DESCRIPTION Maple Leaf Cottage is a detached period house built of local stone under a clay tile roof. It has been extended and modified by the owners over the last 30 years, whilst very recently they have added a beautiful orangery, opening the house into the garden. An arched double door leads through the porch into the welcoming reception hall. In the centre of the house is the large double aspect dining room with a feature fireplace, wooden floor and double doors leading through to the living room, again with a double aspect and feature fireplace. On the other side of the hall is the kitchen/breakfast room with solid oak cabinets and granite worksurfaces. An AGA sits in the old fireplace and an arch leads through to the breakfast room and utility/ cloak room at the back of the house. Off the kitchen is the stylish timber orangery with double doors onto the garden, creating delightful living and entertaining space in all weathers, with tiled floors throughout. A staircase leads up from the dining room to the first floor. The principal bedroom has an en suite bath/shower room and double doors lead out onto a terrace overlooking the rear garden, an excellent place to enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine. There are three further bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.
The gardens are lovely, comprising well maintained lawns to the side and rear of the house with a selection of mature trees and attractive shrubs. At the front of the house, accessed off the orangery, is a level patio enclosed by a low stone wall, making a lovely al fresco dining area. The drive leads past the house with parking for several cars and up to the garage at the far side of the house, incorporating a recently converted home office.
SITUATION The property is situated in the picturesque village of Stanton Drew, a popular village situated within the heart of Chew Valley, which recently featured in the Sunday Times best places to live in 2023. Within the village, there is a small range of local facilities including a primary school (Ofsted outstanding), a public house, a church and village hall. The village is also famous for its stone circles. These ancient monuments date from 3000 – 2000 BC and display the second largest stone circle in Britain. The neighbouring village of Chew Magna has a good range of local shops including a well-stocked supermarket, master butcher, coffee shop, gift shops, post office and a pharmacy. There are also four excellent public houses within easy ‘dog walking’ distance.
