Welcome to the Cottage at Merry Oaks, a tastefully appointed three-bedroom, two-bath home that captures the charm and warmth of an English country cottage. Set in a private, picturesque setting, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens featuring mature trees, flowering plantings, stone walls, flagstone terraces, and winding garden paths. Ideally located between the village of The Plains and the town of Warrenton, the home offers convenient access to major airports and Washington, D.C., while still providing the serenity of Virginia’s countryside. A welcoming foyer with tumbled stone flooring and custom finishes leads to the living room, formal dining room, and a handsome library featuring exposed beams and a fireplace with gas logs. French doors throughout enhance the flow between living spaces and invite natural light Just beyond the library, a charming sunroom with slate flooring overlooks the gardens and opens onto two enclosed exercise yards—perfect for pets or outdoor play. The home offers three comfortable bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite. A fourth bedroom has been transformed into an exceptional walk-in closet and dressing room. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with an AGA stove, Shaw farmhouse sink, soapstone countertops, and a large island. Exposed beams and hardwood floors add warmth, while a cozy gathering area makes the kitchen the heart of the home. A well-organized laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Additional features include an attached garage with automatic carriage-style doors and abundant storage, as well as a backup generator for peace of mind. From this enchanting home, it’s easy to enjoy all that Virginia’s countryside has to offer. Nearby wineries, historic sites, and equestrian venues—including Great Meadow and Morningside Training Center—are just minutes away. The Cottage at Merry Oaks offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, modern comfort, and tranquil country living.
