Crossing Road, Palgrave, IP22 1AW

Oak Tree Cottage is a Scandia-Hus bespoke building, designed specifically for its first and only owner since new. Individually designed and tailored the property comes with all the high efficiency and simplicity synonymous with this UK/Swedish company. Designed to complement the setting, within a plot from the owners previous home and now neighbour, Grade II Listed The Thatches, the appearance of the building resembles a traditional Norfolk/Suffolk timber framed barn presenting externally black weatherboards beneath a red clay pantile roof. A final touch to the setting was the creation of a traditional style stable building to serve as a Workshop/Studio. Internally, the accommodation is light, airy and voluminous with tall vaulted first floor rooflines and an open engineered oak floored ground floor. Triple glazed windows and doors on each of the four ground floor elevations ensure good natural light and with two sets of french doors and further single door, easy access to the wide verandah and garden. Whilst much of the ground floor is wonderfully open plan, the end room has served as both a study and bedroom as it has a shower room alongside and its own means of stepping out into the garden via a further set of glazed doors. Upstairs, two further bedrooms each have their own facilities. The principal bedroom is a lovely large lofty room with bathroom including a roll top bath.

Gardens & Grounds
Oak Tree Cottage sits up off the road behind an initial sloped parking area. The 'always been there' appearance of the building and the established nature of the setting creates a pleasing first impression upon arrival. Gates at either side lead into the garden the main area being to the right hand side within which a traditional looking pantile roofed stable type building serves as a WORKSHOP. This building measures internally 10'11 x 8'9 (3.35m x 2.67m) and has power and light connected, stable outer door, windows and a useful overhang. The gardens are well established with banked lawn, borders, beds and pathways and a lovely verandah along the length of the building. The verandhah is attractively laid with brick setts and pavings which add to the overall style of the setting. Native hedging surrounds much of the plot and the eponymous oak tree sits proudly within the plot. Outside lighting in various positions.
