REA TE Potterton have the privilege of welcoming to the market the sensational property that is Rose Cottage.
Standing proud on the site of a former derelict, single storey workers cottage, circa 1900’s, one would be forgiven for thinking this is a painstakingly loving restoration project. The truth is, Rose Cottage was designed and executed in 2021 to be an energy efficient, new world contemporary take on classic, Georgian architecture and styling.
With design worthy of the front cover of any Country Living magazine at every turn, the entire build was project managed by its current owners and is a true testament to the finite art of the marriage of traditional and modern style.
Approached by sweeping driveway, passing paddock, raised beds and stables, Rose Cottage offers ample blank canvas gardens in which to create your own version of Eden.

The steps leading from the French doors, and indeed surrounding the residence, utilize bricks reclaimed from the original cottage, a theme which is present throughout the buildings construction.
A further framed opening on the opposite end of the hall leads through to your next delight; the heart of the residence, once again bay and this time triple aspect sash windows and French doors further invite the outside in, the space is bright, airy and inviting.

The kitchen is a bespoke fitted masterpiece, with island come breakfast bar, Belfast sink overlooking an expansive garden window, built in larder, American fridge freezer.

The two quarter turn staircase is carpeted and framed with a five inch runner, starting with a curved Georgian handrail and finishing on an L shaped landing. Turning left one finds two large double bedrooms, connected via shared walk-in wardrobe with Jack and Jill en-suite.
A vast family bathroom separates the two first floor wings, floored with Parisian style tiles and wood paneling, complete with walk-in shower, his and hers sink and an elegant, claw foot standalone bath.
The third bedroom on this floor features its own walk-in wardrobe and a charming round window overlooking the smallholding.
