Character period cottage with original features in a prime location

Description

A charming Grade II listed property, believed to date back to the 1600s, full of character and retaining many period features. The beautiful wooden, stable style front door leads in to the deceptively spacious living/dining room with its wealth of original features including exposed wooden beams and exposed brick work. The two living spaces are naturally divided by the open wooden staircase which leads up to the first floor and is another feature of the room. The dining area's focal point has to be the stunning inglenook fireplace with log burning stove and log storage which can be viewed from every aspect of the room. The kitchen is very open allowing for a social environment, and features a fitted kitchen with range cooker, butler sink, integrated dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge and freezer.

On the first floor there is a small landing providing access to two double bedrooms all with high ceilings, beautiful wooden doors and thumb latches. The main bedroom is to the right hand side, and has built-in wardrobe space and a double aspect. The en suite shower room comprises; close coupled WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a corner bath unit. In addition there are part tiled walls, an extractor fan and wall mounted lighting. The second double bedroom has room for a double bed and a wardrobe, and has storage space above the stairs. This room also features an open plan bathroom which is a step up to get to and has a unique bath adding real charm to the room.

At the rear of the garden going through the gate there are two parking spaces that come with the property, an extremely rare benefit within the Old Town of Beaconsfield.
