Property description

A four double bedroom detached cottage with a westerly facing rear garden, gated off street parking, an oak framed double carport and a one bedroom detached self-contained annexe.

The property was built approximately 30 years ago of brick and flint construction with a slate roof, in keeping with the original 19th century detached bakehouse which has been transformed into a self-contained two storey annexe. The current owners have refurbished the property in the last 3 years including new carpets and Karndean flooring, solid oak internals doors, and oak fronted wardrobes in all the bedrooms. The architraves and exposed timbers, including the stairs, have been painted in Farrow and Ball. The self-contained annexe has a kitchen/sitting room on the ground floor with oak flooring and integrated appliances. The dual aspect double bedroom on the first floor has fitted wardrobes and a modern three piece en suite shower room.

Internal Highlights

On the ground floor there is a study with Karndean flooring and a 36ft long triple aspect sitting/dining room with a woodburning stove and full height windows and bi-fold doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has integrated appliances and there is a separate utility room. On the first floor, the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and a three piece bathroom.

External highlights

Twin timber five bar gates at the front lead to off street parking and the double oak framed carport and annexe. There is a concealed oil tank/bin store. Gated side access leads to the westerly facing rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders and a paved patio for seating and outside dining. A path leads to a rear gate onto Grubbins Lane. There is also a concealed timber shed.
