4 bedroom detached house

Description

Top Cottage is a most deceptive property enjoying a tucked away position in the very heart of the village of Burton close to the pub, farm shop and café. The cottage's front elevation only shows a hint of the property which occupies a private location, complete with its own parking, a garage and home office with en suite that could be a potential annexe. The main access to the property is via the rear driveway which is accessed from Toll Down Way. 

The cottage has been largely extended over the years, is well appointed and  beautifully presented throughout. The main accommodation extends to around 1,435 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. A reception hall looks straight out across the garden through double doors and leads into the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has been refitted with a bespoke Neptune kitchen and Ca’Pietra stone flooring. The living room also flows out to the garden and has a cosy aspect from a fireplace with wood-burning stove. Adjoining the reception hall there is a utility room with rear access and downstairs WC. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The spacious main bathroom is equipped with a roll-top bath and separate shower unit. The principal bedroom features an exposed stone wall, extensive fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There is Amtico flooring within the entrance hall and family bathroom.

The garage/outbuilding enhances the accommodation with the excellent addition of a versatile room with underfloor heating downstairs which could be used as home office or ancillary accommodation, currently dressed as a guest bedroom complete with en suite shower room, and could equally be used as an annexe or additional reception space. The garage has driveway parking in front, plus loft storage above, power, lighting and water connected. The garden benefits from a sunny south-facing aspect landscaped into two principal terraces. The lower terrace adjoins the back of the cottage with a patio terrace, lawn and path leading up to the second terrace which serves the garage/annexe complete with a timber decking area.
