Property description

A detached stone and rendered property, extended and refurbished by the current owners, with wraparound gardens, a detached outbuilding currently used as a gym, a detached garage, and secure parking.

The property was originally two cottages, dating back to 1761. An extension in 2023 created an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and dining/family room with a lantern roof and sliding doors to the garden. The house now has approximately 2,302 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors including an entrance hall with engineered oak flooring, stairs to the first floor and access to a study and snug with potential for use as a ground floor bedroom. The sitting room has three windows to the front and a feature brick fireplace with a wood burning stove, and glazed doors lead to the dining/family room. A rear lobby has access to a utility room and cloakroom and a door to a courtyard. The first floor has a galleried landing with an airing cupboard and access the dual aspect principal bedroom which has fitted wardrobes and steps up to an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, both with dual aspect windows and fitted wardrobes, and a four piece bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Utility Room

The kitchen has a comprehensive range of bespoke units with a Belfast sink set into quartz worksurfaces. The central island has further storage and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, full height fridge and freezer and an electric Rangemaster with a double oven and a five ring gas hob with an extractor over. The utility room is fitted with matching units and has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Gardens, Garaging and Outbuilding

The gardens have been professionally landscaped. A timber gate opens to the front garden which has a path to the front door and stone steps up to a lawn with mature trees and shrubs and steps down to the main garden. An extensive terrace is divided into seating and dining areas with outdoor mood lighting and flower borders. Paths lead to a gazebo and the outbuilding, which is currently used as a gym, and proceed around the house to the rear garden and courtyard. Timber gates open to a secure parking area at the front of the property leading to the detached double garage which has loft storage.
