Property description

A Grade II listed four bedroom detached property with an enclosed garden, a detached garden room, and an integral single garage.

The cottage was originally built in the 19th century of local chequered brick under a pitched tiled roof, and was extended in the 20th century. Retained character features such as exposed beams and timbers and traditional fireplaces have been blended with modern amenities including a fitted Aga kitchen and modern white sanitaryware. The solid oak entrance door, with stained glass detail, leads into an entrance hall/snug which has an inglenook style brick fireplace with an inset log burning stove, slate flooring, and stairs to the first floor with an understairs cupboard. The separate sitting room has a brick fireplace with an open grate and a tiled hearth, an exposed slate floor and a built-in storage cupboard. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room overlooks the rear garden and has access to a newly refurbished shower room. There is also a utility room which is accessed via the garage. The first floor has four double bedrooms, two with dressing areas, and a family bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room and Utility Room

The kitchen/breakfast area is separated from the dining area by floor to ceiling timbers. There are four windows overlooking the rear garden, a stable door to the terrace, and a rustic tiled floor. The kitchen has a range of Shaker style units including a recessed shelving unit and a dresser with glazed display cabinets, with hardwood work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, and there is a three oven gas fired Aga set into a recess. The utility room has a tiled work surface, space and plumbing for a washing machine, a newly installed wall mounted gas fired boiler and a stable door to the rear garden.

Outside

The front door has borders either side. The garage has an up and over door, power, and doors to the hall/snug and utility rooms. The rear garden is enclosed by a combination of close boarded fencing and a low brick wall, and has a patio by the cottage and a second patio with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area for al fresco entertaining. The garden room has been converted into a bar and has two sets of doors to the garden. There is a lawn, a well, borders and mature trees, and a bridge at the bottom of the garden over the village brook to a seating area beyond.
