The Home... - Welcome to Providence Cottage, a charming and detached 1920s home that enjoys a truly delightful position in the very heart of the beautiful village of West Hoathly's conservation area.

The home is concealed from the street by established hedging and the wooden gate allows you to peek through to the charm that lies behind.

Internally, the home offers so much retained character and will certainly appeal to any lover of older property who is seeking a quintessential village lifestyle. The accommodation is spacious, extending to over 1,500 sq ft and the layout works really well.

Upon entry you are welcomed by a generous hallway, with space for a piano. The characterful tone is immediately set with exposed floorboards and a cast iron column radiator. The sitting room was originally two separate rooms but is now an spacious and inviting space, with an open fireplace and four sash windows that enjoy leafy vistas.

The dining room also overlooks the garden and the exposed brickwork combines with the exposed floorboards to create a charming, characterful feel. The log burner makes this a cosy retreat during those cold winter months. A door flows through to the kitchen making this a great space for entertaining friends & family.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a juxtaposition to the rest of the house with impressive 12ft vaulted ceiling, contemporary glazed gable and skylight that flood the room with natural light. The kitchen itself is country-style with tiled flooring, wooden units and quality granite worktops adding an opulent touch. Practicality wise, there is plenty of prep and storage space, integrated range cooker with gas hob, two undercounter fridges and space for a dishwasher.

The separate utility room houses the freezer and a stable door provides side access that would be incredibly handy after a muddy dog walk!

The ground floor also offers a useful understairs cupboard and shower room with WC.

On the first floor there are four well-balanced double bedrooms, each with lovely outlooks and each served by the gorgeous period style family bathroom. The roll-top bathtub is the perfect spot to unwind after a long day and the period style towel rail means your towels will be warm & fluffy.

The home is heated via oil fired radiators and there are attractive sash double glazed windows.

Outside Oasis... - Stepping outside you have the most charming of cottage gardens, offering a huge degree of privacy and seclusion whilst being bathed in sunshine throughout the day due to its southerly aspect. The garden is well stocked with a plethora of pretty flowers, plants, trees and shrubs whilst the rear courtyard is a delightful spot for a spot of 'al-fresco' dining or a barbecue.

The detached garage is a particular feature offering a fully-powered workshop space, working pottery studio (can be removed if not required) and an incredibly useful, fully boarded attic space providing superb storage.

The block paved driveway provides off street parking for two cars (tandem) and is set behind a set of wooden gates.

Charming homes such as this are so rarely available in such beautiful village settings and the home if offered for sale with no onward chain.
