Description
This character period cottage has had time and money invested to create a charming property complemented by a stylish modern finish. Recent updates include a new bathroom as well as a crisp and light decor throughout. Outside the property boasts a generous garden to the side and rear which has been landscaped with a decked seating area, lawns and slate patio with a side gate. It offers both views and a high level of privacy. A large garden shed/store has been erected to the rear and this could be converted to provide a studio or home office.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors plus a very useful cellar that is currently used as an office with some natural light. As you step through the entrance into the sitting room you will immediately appreciate the care that has gone into this cottage. The view from this elevated spot to the front is over local shops, character buildings and the roundabout. The focal point of the room is a fireplace with exposed brickwork and a stove. The room opens to a lobby area with access to the kitchen, stairs down to the cellar and opens into a dining room with stairs to the first floor.
The double aspect, part-vaulted kitchen is well-fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces and inset sink. Appliances include oven, hob and extractor, fridge/freezer and space/plumbing for the washing machine. There is a slate floor and a doorway leading to the garden. The bathroom is off the dining room with windows to two aspects, underfloor heating and a stylish contemporary white bathroom suite comprising wc and washbasin in a vanity unit and a bath with shower over and screen. Tiling extends to both walls and the floor.
Upstairs there is a small landing with hatch to the loft space for storage. There are two double bedrooms each with pleasant outlooks. The master has cupboards to the alcoves and there is a further cupboard in the second bedroom. The property has gas central heating, double glazing and shutters added to the sitting room window.
