This 18th century stone cottage stands in a romantic setting on the fringes of Parwich and boasts original features such as mullion windows, stone fireplace and exposed beamed ceilings.
Fairy Tale Gardens - Tucked into a hillside on the edge of the beautiful Parwich Village, The Rookery is a secluded idyll hugged by towering trees and mature shrubs. Besides the characterful features such as stone flooring and fireplace, mullion windows and beamed ceiling, the property has an interesting history dating back to circa 1700. Once home to the present owner's great grandfather, The Rookery is an enchanting family home with an endearing past.
As you approach the stone cottage, you'll see pretty gardens that slope down from its elevated position with gravel pathways meandering between the nooks and crannies. This tranquil setting looks like it could have jumped straight out of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Olde-Worlde Charms - Enter the house through the porch-covered entrance and explore the olde-worlde charms that await you on the ground floor. The low beamed ceilings and stone floors really give you a sense of stepping back in time, adding to The Rookery's 17th century charm.
Step straight into the dining room where a large stone fireplace housing a log burner vies for your attention as it creates a striking focal point of the room. Streams of light gush in from the mullion windows as you're then drawn through to the lounge. Intimate and snug, this space cries out for relaxing evenings as you cosy up by the cast iron fireplace reading a good book and sipping on a hot mug of your favourite drink. A chunky wooden beam runs across the ceiling overhead, reminding you of The Rookery's charming past.
Make your way back through the dining room and into the kitchen. Mullion windows, beamed ceiling and cottage-style units with chunky wooden surfaces reflect the quaint personality of this unique home as they conjure up images of summer afternoons making jams and baking bread.
The downstairs WC comes in handy for freshening up after a day pottering in the garden.
Peaceful Dreams - Head upstairs from the kitchen to the first-floor landing which leads onto three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom features a picture window with views overlooking the garden and has plenty of opportunity for presenting your own individual style.
Externally to the far-right hand side of the cottage is a former stable and a storeroom above, which can be accessed from the outside patio area, has scope for use as a garden room or office.
