DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Tanners, a truly unique Grade II listed property, situated in Sutton Mandeville, one of the Nadder Valley’s most picturesque villages. Dating back to the 1600s, with original period features throughout, providing considerable character and charm. The cottage was sympathetically restored and extended for the present owners in 2007 by highly regarded local developers Templeton Walker to give a more modern style of living, creating the perfect balance between old and new.
The beautifully cared for accommodation is arranged over two floors; to the ground floor there is a welcoming entrance, large kitchen/dining sitting area with AGA and access into the garden, separate utility room again with external access, downstairs WC, reception hall with flag stone floor and fireplace, further sitting room with fireplace and an office, which could serve a number of different uses.
To the first floor is a wonderful principal bedroom, full of light, with dressing room and large ensuite shower room, two further bedrooms both served by a family bathroom.
Externally the property is surrounded by gardens and outbuildings including an oak framed double carport with storage shed, workshop with multi-fuel stove, summer house and additional garden shed/greenhouse.
OUTSIDE
The dwelling is situated in the centre of the plot, measuring at approximately 0.68 of an acre, and is accessed off of Panters Road, a quiet country lane, where you enter a tarmacadam driveway, leading up to a gravel parking area for several cars, providing access to the double carport, with additional storage shed, and large loft space, with laddered access / further potential (STPP). A path then leads down to the entrance.
The sunny south westerly gardens are simply stunning, taking you on a journey through the different areas, whilst enjoying the tranquil setting and views of the undulating Wiltshire Countryside. Double doors in the kitchen/dining/sitting room lead onto a large patio, providing a sheltered space, perfect for the garden furniture, bordered by an array of colourful planting. The rest of the garden is a mix of lawn, hedging and planted areas which really can be enjoyed throughout the different seasons.
In addition there is a substantial tiled summer house, positioned perfectly to enjoy the views, a detached workshop which could serve a number of uses and a further garden shed with lean to green house, next to a productive vegetable garden.
