Description

PROPERTY OVERVIEW

Tythe Cottage is an exceptional five double bedroom residence, meticulously remodelled and extended to an exemplary standard, resulting in a truly stunning home that seamlessly blends character with contemporary luxury. Featured across prominent media channels, including Tom Howley, Neptune, The White Company, Daylesford Organic, and soon to be featured in Ideal Home Magazine, this remarkable property is enviably situated on Bakers Lane in Knowle. Set behind a gated entrance and approached via a block paved driveway, the cottage impresses from the outset, with its beautifully landscaped gardens extending to approximately one acre, ensuring uninterrupted views and privacy.

The heart of the home is the magnificent open plan kitchen and dining area, designed and installed by Tom Howley, featuring a striking central island, air conditioning, and full-width doors that frame picturesque garden views, with direct access to a practical walk-in pantry and boot room. The ground floor accommodation is generously proportioned, offering four elegant reception rooms that include a formal living room with bespoke Neptune cabinetry, a snug, a dedicated office, and a versatile play room/fifth bedroom which leads to a utility and WC for added convenience.

Throughout the ground floor, Mandarin Stone flooring and underfloor heating provide comfort and sophistication. Upstairs, four double bedrooms all benefit from bespoke oak fitted wardrobes, with the principal suite boasting a luxurious ensuite and a private balcony that enjoys tranquil canal-side views.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious, high-specification family bathroom. The property further benefits from planning permission and architect plans for an 8m by 4m extension to the rear, allowing scope for future enhancement.

Tythe Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire an absolutely stunning home of distinction, set within beautifully landscaped grounds, enjoying uninterrupted vistas across open fields, and offering the perfect blend of privacy, style, and practicality in this highly sought-after Knowle location.
