The Property
This delightful period cottage dates from the early 1800s and started life as a pair of one up and one down cottages. They were knocked into one property, probably in the mid-20th Century, and extended on the ground floor around that time. Due to its age and character, the property is Listed Grade II. The exposed timber joinery is a particularly attractive feature. The current owners have been diligent caretakers and this charming home offers characterful and warm accommodation, set over two floors.
The front door opens to the sitting room, which has a wood burning stove as a cosy focal point. Doors lead off to the dining room, which offers plenty of space for formal occasions. The Dijon Limestone, tiled floor is a practical touch, as a stable door opens from the garden. Adjacent is the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work-surfaces and an inset stainless sink. The oven is electric and the gas hob has a glass splash back and extractor hood above. The dishwasher is integrated and there is space for a washing machine and for a fridge freezer. The snug can be accessed from either the kitchen or the sitting room, and is another comfortable entertaining space. It could also be used as a bedroom, as the well-appointed bathroom is adjacent. There is a guest cloakroom off the sitting room.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first-floor landing. There are doors off to each of the bedrooms. The main bedroom is beautiful, with a polished pine floor, exposed timbers to the walls and to the pitched ceiling. The fireplace is still in situ. The second bedroom is another comfortable double room with similar ceiling heights and exposed joinery.
Outside, there is a gated side access from the road, opening to a path which leads to the rear garden, via the walk-through garden store. A paved patio spans the back of the house. The lawn is surrounded by a raised bed which is planted with a range of maturing shrubs. There is good privacy within the garden, which is west-facing and captures the afternoon and evening sunshine.
