Property description

A three bedroom extended semi-detached cottage with an integral garage, driveway parking, a private roof terrace, and panoramic views over open countryside, within walking distance of amenities in Cuddington.

The property blends period character with modern amenities, and is in a rural position with uninterrupted views over open fields. The hall has timber latch doors to a cloakroom, three reception rooms and the hub of the house, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The sitting room has an exposed brick feature wall with an inset log burner, and an opening to the dining room giving a free flow for family life and entertaining. The snug offers another reception space, and there is a study/third bedroom. The first floor has two double bedrooms, a study and a luxury four-piece family bathroom. The established rear garden has mature trees and hedgerows, stone water features, and a gravel path running alongside the post-and-rail timber fencing round the perimeter. Stairs lead up to a roof terrace which has an artificial lawn, a timber pergola, and space for seating to enjoy the panoramic views.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Reception Rooms

The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room has slate tile flooring with electric underfloor heating, and a comprehensive range of bespoke oak wall and base units, with granite work surfaces incorporating a deep ceramic Belfast sink under a wide window with views of the garden. High-quality appliances include a multi-oven range cooker with a matching extractor hood and an American-style refrigerator. The sitting room has a red brick fireplace with a black iron log-burning stove on a tiled hearth. There is a wide window for natural light. The snug has a feature Inglenook fireplace with a large Dovre stove offering either an open fire or an enclosed log burner and provides an additional seating area for family life. There is a third ground floor room to the front of the property which is currently used as a study but could easily convert to a double bedroom.

First Floor

The principal bedroom measures over 15 ft. and has dual aspect windows overlooking the fields behind the cottage. One window gives access to the over 12 sq. ft. roof terrace which is edged by built-in wooden planters for flowers and has string lights. Bedroom two is at the front of the house and has a teal feature wall and two built-in cupboards. There is a small study/single bedroom. The luxurious family bathroom has oversized stone travertine tiles with electric underfloor heating, and a high specification suite with a contemporary freestanding capsule bath with a floor-mounted tap, a walk-in double shower with a glass screen, a WC, a modern vanity washbasin, and a chrome heated towel rail.
