Typical English detailing of exposed rafter tails, shed dormers, leaded windows, steep gables, shake or slate roof and rough stone construction come together to make a lovely home that could easily be from the English countryside. This charming cottage packs a lot into a relatively small space.
Just inside, off the foyer, a large great room with fireplace and vaulted ceiling offers surprising space with a view through a covered terrace beyond. A room with vaulted ceiling off the great room may serve as a space for dining or a small office. The large hearth room with fireplace and kitchen open to the great room creating a space perfect for entertaining and comfortable year- round living. The laundry and large pantry are just off the kitchen. All are accessed through off a small covered porch to one side. The stairs shown are for potential access to a basement, or the space may be used to enlarge the kitchen and provide more storage space.
Two large bedrooms are located at one end off a common vestibule with powder room. A fireplace and vaulted ceiling make the master bedroom very special. Double glass doors open directly from the master to the covered terrace. Large windows provide lots of light and great views. The master bath sports double sinks with abundant counter space, a whirlpool tub, large shower, private toilet, and large walk-in closet.
This cottage has just about everything!
he Village of Chipping in Lancashire was the inspiration for the name of our "Chipping Cottage". The word chipping means "market" in Old English and this village was most likely developed around a market. It was famous for its wool trade sustained by the sheep which grazed on the rolling, green hills of Lancashire. Picturesque, ancient water-wheels on Chipping Brook add to the charm of the area.
