Known locally as "Nanny McPhee's Cottage" after featuring in the 2005 family classic film, this thoughtfully extended three/four bedroom detached, thatched Grade II Listed cottage enjoys a truly idyllic rural location situated between the village of Weston and Hamlet of Halls Green. The cottage sits centrally amongst two acres of well-maintained cottage themed gardens with an array of useful outbuildings whilst the majority of the gardens back onto ancient woodland evoking a sense of tranquillity and serenity. The original cottage has been thoughtfully extended to provide a deceptively spacious versatile arrangement of accommodation. The extension haa been built with an oak fame interspersed with full height double glazed windows providing panoramic views over the grounds and surrounding countryside. The original cottage boasts an abundance of original period features including exposed knarled beams and timbers, original braced and latched doors whilst a most impressive brick built inglenook fireplace adorns the sitting room. The extension provides an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, ideal for modern family living with the practicalities of a walk-in pantry, boot room and utility room.
