Description

The Property
Foxglove Cottage is a very charming and deceptively spacious single-storey property, situated in the heart of the village of Tickencote, adjoining the Grade II-listed cast iron village pump.The property was converted into a residential dwelling in 2017 and was extensively renovated in 2021 to a very high standard, including a new air source heat pump, with a further extension in 2022. The result is a delightful home well suited to downsizers or as a second home, offering about 1000 sq ft of space and plenty of character. The cottage also benefits from off-street parking and an enclosed garden.

Accommodation
The accommodation is arranged, bungalow style, on the ground floor and has been extensively updated with a modern wood-burning stove, a beautiful kitchen appointed in stylish British Racing green cabinetry, which are complemented by the older elements of the house such as exposed stone. The space has been configured to its best advantage, with the house arranged in an L-shape and having the two bedrooms plus two well-executed shower rooms, situated at either ends of the L. The property has underfloor heating throughout.

The entrance opens onto a small porch fitted with storage which then leads to the handsome kitchen and onwards to the sitting room and a cloakroom with W.C. Both bedrooms are double size and benefit from built in storage and en suite facilities.

Outside
There is off-street parking to the front on the gravel driveway, while enclosed within the L shape of the house is a low-maintenance courtyard style garden laid to a mix of paving and gravel, with borders around the outside. There is also a timber-framed summerhouse which is fully insulated and has a small kitchen a cloakroom and W.C., ideal for office/business or annexe accommodation.
