3 bedroom detached house

A quintessential, double fronted stone cottage that has been significantly extended and renovated from the ground up to create a superb and beautifully presented home.

Ground Floor - Enter the property via an oak-framed porch leading on into the property where you will find stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the ground floor accommodation. To the right of the entrance hall is the cosy sitting room with exposed whitewashed stone walls, a timber beam to the ceiling and a chimney breast with oak mantelpiece creating a lovely feature in the room.

To the left of the entrance hall there is a second reception room, also with some wonderful features including exposed limestone walls and original timber beams to the ceiling and lintels above the window. There is a feature fireplace with a wood burning stove and plenty of storage for wood in the chimney breast recesses. There are also two useful storage cupboards.

To the rear of the property is the spacious open plan living kitchen, the definite stand out room of the property. The kitchen itself comprises a range of floor standing and wall mounted units under light granite worktops with a sizable central island. The island not only creates a focal point in the room and additional worktop space but there is also a built-in bench, a very clever use of space in order to create room for seating and a kitchen table. There are integrated appliances to include a dishwasher and a sink built into the central island. There is a ceramic sink, built-in dishwasher, space for both a free-standing fridge freezer and a Range style cooker with extractor over and a pantry cupboard providing further storage. The kitchen/dining area gives way to a magnificent oak-framed garden room that has a huge amount of glazing both to the walls and ceiling with three Velux rooflights allowing plenty of natural light into the room. This combined with the large three-pane bi-fold doors that lead out to the garden offers a light and spacious room that connects indoor and outdoor living beautifully. The room has a lovely limestone floor that enjoys underfloor heating.

A utility area sits just off the kitchen with further storage, space for white goods and a door leading out to the side. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the downstairs WC that has a low flush lavatory and wash hand basin.

First Floor - To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom and an en-suite. The principal bedroom sits to the rear of the property within the modern two-storey extension. Although this part of the property is brand-new the current owner has created character in order to keep in line with the rest of the home. This room is complemented by an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three sit to the front of the property within the original cottage and are incredibly generous double rooms especially given the style and age of the property. The current owner has vaulted the ceilings in both bedrooms exposing the timber roof trusses which provide additional character and interest. The beautifully appointed family bathroom completes the internal accommodation and comprises a large walk-in shower, free-standing contemporary roll top bath, low flush lavatory and wash hand basin.

Outside - There is off-road parking on the block-paved driveway that gives access to the oak framed garage that is oversized to provide additional storage. There is a herringbone brick path that leads from the wrought-iron front gate to the Indian sandstone patio that has been laid to the front of the property and then on to the front door. There is ample garden space to the front of the property that is predominantly laid to lawn and an access to the right leading to the rear where the patio area is, accessed directly off the living kitchen. The garden enjoys a great degree of privacy and security with no overlooking neighbours to the side and rear and due to the property's orientation it enjoys a huge amount of sunlight throughout the day.

This absolutely superb character home is presented to the highest possible standard by the current owners and must be viewed to be appreciated.
