Property description

A stone built five bedroom detached cottage with landscaped gardens, driveway parking, and a workshop on a corner plot.

The property has undergone a complete refurbishment and now provides approximately 2,956 sq. ft. of accommodation with annexe potential for multi-generational living. The entrance hall has stairs to the first floor, built-in storage, and a cloakroom. There are two principal reception rooms, a garden room, and a separate home office/snug. There is also an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and a separate utility room with a work surface, a sink, and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads to a second cloakroom and there is a door to the side. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe and two with fitted wardrobes. Three of the bedrooms also have en suite facilities and there is a refitted family bathroom.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room has a feature fireplace and double doors to the dining room which also has a feature fireplace, both housing log burning stoves. Leading off the sitting room is a garden room with a door to the rear courtyard, and an adjoining log room. The home office/snug has a built-in desk and storage spanning one wall, and a work surface with a wash basin, and could be used as a sixth bedroom/annexe if required.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room

A particular feature of the property is the open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room which measures over 23 ft. by nearly 15 ft. The kitchen is fitted with a range of custom built cream units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar and a sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include two electric ovens with hob and extractor over, an under counter fridge and a dishwasher. The family area has a bay window and French double doors to the front garden.

The landscaped garden is at the front of the property and has a lawned area with flower and shrub borders and mature trees. There are paved and gravelled areas and pathways with steps down to an outdoor entertaining area. There is a courtyard at the rear. The driveway provides parking for up to four cars and access to the stone/timber built workshop which has power and light connected.
