Hazel Hill, Drybrook

KJT Residential are excited to showcase this enchanting chocolate box cottage, full of charm, character and thoughtful details. The property has only been marketed once before in the last 100 years and is believed to pre-date 1880. The current owners have discovered the history and that the cottage was part of a smallholding where milk was collected in churns from the side entrance. From its storybook exterior to the inviting interiors, there is a feeling that this is a home that has been cherished - take a look you wont want to leave!

Outside
A charming cottage garden is approached through a gate with a wooden arch overhead. The arch is almost hidden beneath a tangle of greenery to include wisteria and ivy. Beyond the gate, a stone path winds through overflowing borders of seasonal planting. There are various seating areas to follow the sun or sit in the shade where you can relax and take in all the charm of this well established garden. There is an attached store shed. Flagstone paths lead around the property to the rear garden, The owners have again created individual areas using trees and shrubs. There is a 'natural' garden pond and double gates lead out (possibility of creating more parking!). There is another store room attached to the rear of the property and timber shed. There is a driveway to the front and most of the cottage has stone boundary walls. The informal nature of the garden feels as though it has gently grown into the landscape over many years.
