Property description

A Victorian two bedroom semi-detached cottage with an enclosed rear garden, a tandem garage and off street parking located in the village of Stoke Hammond.

Dating back to 1880, the property has accommodation of approximately 936 sq. ft. set over two floors. On the ground floor, access to the property is through a gothic shaped front door directly into a galley style kitchen with a glazed door leading to the garden and a further door accessing a dual aspect sitting/dining room with a double-sided fireplace, stairs to the first floor, and a folding door into a snug/guest room. The ground floor shower room is reached via the snug. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms - each with built-in cupboards - and a triple aspect three piece bathroom with a freestanding bath and a porthole window. The tandem garage is located further along Old School Lane from the property, which has a gated entrance and path to the front door. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub beds and borders.

Sitting/Dining Room

The 24 ft. long triple aspect sitting/dining room has a feature double sided brick fireplace with a log burner in the centre of the rooms and a built-in cupboard on the dining room side. French doors lead out to the garden on the sitting room side, whilst stairs to the first floor and a door into a snug are on the dining room side. Oak flooring extends the length of both rooms. A folding door in the sitting/dining room leads to the snug/guest room which has an exposed brick arch leading to a walk-in bay with apsidal conservatory windows.

Outside

Accessed from the sitting room and the kitchen, the garden wraps around the side and rear of the property. From the sitting room double doors there is a block paved seating area screened by mature shrubs for privacy. Steps lead down to a further blocked paved patio area with a wooden pergola and space for patio furniture with mature shrubs and trees and fenced boundaries preventing being overlooked.
