The Property
A traditionally built cottage, constructed just three years ago, offering two double bedrooms within the principal house, and a further double, en-suite bedroom in the annexe to the rear. Bumble Bee Cottage has been built in traditional materials but to the highest standards to blend in with the street scene to the front, with an entirely contemporary and high-quality interior and finish.

Entered via a bespoke ornamental metal gateway into a courtyard with glazed roof over, and heating to make the space usable on cooler evenings. Through the front door, controls are found for the ground floor and landing lighting, with a master panel allowing dimming of all of the circuit.

To the right, an open plan kitchen with bespoke German kitchen has been fitted by Sherwin Hall. There is a central island, with porcelain sink inset, and handmade glass lighting pendants over, surrounded by an excellent range of units and pan drawers. Integrated appliances are fitted, including: a Circotherm Neff Oven, Neff combined microwave and oven, Neff warming drawer and a Neff Induction hob with extractor over. A Bosch dishwasher and washing machine, have been chosen for their low noise emittance. Floor to ceiling storage units span an entire wall, with a large pantry cupboard, twin drinks glass cupboards and mirrored fridge and freezer unit, also full height. A further storage cupboard to one end gives space for storing utility items, as well as the underfloor heating manifold and controls. Adjacent is a boot cupboard, and to one end of the kitchen, a cloakroom.

Opening into the sitting room, the continuous flooring creates dialogue between the two rooms, leading to the seating area, which is orientated to take in the fireplace, with modern style fire, integrated television and illuminated display areas set into the wall, all framed by the outstanding slate surround. Underfloor heating is throughout the ground floor, with Hive programmable controls, and to the first floor, there are traditional thermostatically controlled radiators keeping the cottage snug throughout the winter months.

The staircase is an attractive focal point, with glazed balustrades, an imported stone veneer finish to the walls, and large, framed mirror to enhance the light in the stairwell.

The first floor boasts a generous principal bedroom, with large, mirrored wardrobes fitted to two walls adding a substantial amount of storage and hanging space. The second bedroom also has built in wardrobes, with both rooms having been carpeted for an added feel of warmth.

The bathroom is fitted to a very high standard, with a marble topped vanity basin cupboard, bath, and separate shower.

Outside
The rear courtyard is very private and sheltered, paved, with planted raised beds, a water feature, and programmable lighting that creates a welcoming atmosphere as the light falls later in the day. To the side of the property, the covered seating area has heat and lighting, making the space usable for most of the year, even as the cooler evenings set in.

Beyond the courtyard is The Cart Shed, a fully converted annexe, with an entrance hall that leads through to a large bedroom with en-suite shower room. Useful for a range of purposes, The Cart Shed could, with some minor alteration, make for a useful independent living space, holiday let, home office or gym, or simply, as overflow accommodation for when guests arrive.
