Colby Cottage Overview
Set in the grounds of West Charleton Grange, there are so many wonderful things to do with the family. The indoor swimming pool will be an absolute hit with the children as will the trampoline, slide, climbing frame, sit on tractors and football pitch. A tennis court (also with basketball hoop) and outdoor table tennis will keep even the most competitive families entertained!
On the ground floor are the two bedrooms; the first is a beautiful master bedroom with king sized Rest Assured divan bed, carved pine furniture, built in wardrobe, tongue and groove panelling and blackout blind. The en suite shower room includes a Heritage white classic suite, tumbled stone tiled shower enclosure and heated towel rail.
The second bedroom is a twin with stylish groove panelling and blackout blind. The en suite bathroom is simply gorgeous with a bath and pressurised drench head shower over, hand basin, WC, underfloor heating and heated towel rail with tumbled stone tiles.
Step out from ground floor hallway onto a very large, sheltered, private terrace with table, chairs & umbrella, and two sun loungers on the stone paving for catching those rays of sunshine. The terrace to Colby Cottage leads straight out onto the large, enclosed grass playfield.
Explore the grounds (try to find the secret garden) and enjoy the comfortable outside seating areas for evening drinks, or eating al fresco. For larger gatherings, The Folly is a gorgeous entertaining space and we can help suggest private chefs for special occasions (please note that use of the Folly is an additional £150). Or simply prepare the popcorn, and enjoy a Hollywood blockbuster on the big screen inside.
