A charming cottage close to the pretty Weir Brook with a paddock and so much potential


Description

Little Heath Cottage started life as a two up two down sandstone cottage, which still remains today. The current owners have lived there for nearly 30 years and have extended the cottage into the wonderful family home it is today. The house feels spacious and is perfect for those looking for a spacious, detached family home to put their own stamp on.

The front door leads into a central entrance hall creating an excellent flow to the house with access into the principle reception rooms in the original part of the house. The drawing room is to the left hand side of the hall, which is full of character with beams and the original stone along with an inglenook fireplace with an open fire. There is room for a dining table and this room makes a wonderful place for a family occasion. The dining room provides a further reception space with French doors leading outside onto the back garden.

The sitting room is the hub of the house, with a door leading outside to the garden and access to the kitchen with fitted units, and the utility room with a door leading outside to the back garden plus a door leading into the spacious double garage.

Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor where there is a principal suite, which is still in need of refurbishment but could be a fabulous room and allows someone to put their own stamp on it. There is an ensuite bathroom, with plumbing in place and a separate walk in dressing area, with LED lighting. There are a further three double bedrooms, a single bedroom/office and a family bathroom.
