Description

This charming, Grade II listed Georgian cottage, is believed to date back to the early 1800s. The property is full of charm and character with a host of period features including sash windows, exposed beams and fireplaces. The house offers two bedrooms and two reception rooms, with a delightful cottage garden to the rear.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby which leads into a snug to the front, which is characterful and provides a very flexible space and would also be ideal as a dining room. A decorative fireplace and working fire is flanked on one side by fitted storage cupboards and shelving. A dual aspect sitting room enjoys lovely views to the front and rear, with a door opening on to the outside terrace. The room features built in shelving and a fireplace with a wood burner gives a cosy feel. A large inner hallway with a cloakroom, a good range of built in storage cupboards and stairs to the first floor, would be perfect for use as a study. Lying to the rear, with lovely views over the garden, the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a comprehensive range of units complemented by granite worktops, while an island unit gives further storage. Appliances include a 5 ring gas range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and a tumble dryer. Overlooking the garden the dining area is a good size, with built in shelving and with plenty of room for a table. French doors open on to the garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, both with real character and with views to the front. The principal bedroom has a spacious en suite, with fitted wardrobes and a walk in shower. The adjacent bedroom enjoys a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.

Outside
The wonderful cottage garden is a delight and a real feature of the property. The courtyard garden has several terrace areas for relaxing and outside entertaining. The garden has been designed to create a welcoming outdoor space with pathways and an abundance of well stocked mature shrub and flower borders. Of particular note is a beautiful cherry tree, gardenia, magnolia and a fine mature wisteria on the rear wall. The garden is enclosed with walls and fencing giving a good deal of privacy. Towards the end of garden is a large summer house which has power and would make an ideal home/office.
