In the heart of Towersey, Black Horse Cottage is a wonderfully private and characterful home, quietly set behind its attractive gardens. Formerly an 18th century public house and converted into a private residence in the mid-20th century, the house retains a wealth of period charm while having been sensitively updated for modern living. Its generous proportions and thoughtful layout lend themselves to family life, offering elegant spaces for entertaining, relaxed areas for day-to-dayliving, and the added versatility of a detached studio/annexe, which opens onto the garden, and first-floor space above the garage, both of which may offer further potential, subject to the necessary consents. The house is entered via a central reception hall, which opens into the principal living spaces. Many of the ground-floor rooms enjoy a dual aspect, allowing natural light to move beautifully through the house and creating an easy connection withthe surrounding gardens. The drawing room is a particular highlight, with exposed beams, a striking brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, and lovely views across the grounds, giving the room a warm yet refined atmosphere. Adjoining this is a comfortable snug, while on the opposite side of the hall the dining room and open-plan kitchen forms an inviting heart of the home. Here, sage green cabinetry is paired with HIMACS work surfaces, while a traditional AGA takes pride of place. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and an en-suite bath/ shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a family bath/shower room and an additional cloakroom.
