Description
Ailsa Cottage is an attached period property that, despite its age and character is not Listed. Believed to date from the 16th Century and constructed of cob and stone walls beneath a tiled roof, it offers accommodation of 1,918 sq ft. The current owners have extended the house during their long period of ownership, and it enjoys many period features including exposed beams, window seats, interesting accommodation, as well as extensive storage.
A covered front porch with a wooden front door leads to the reception hallway. Off the hallway are a snug and family room. The triple-aspect sitting room is in the extension, with double doors to the rear garden, has a feature fireplace and multi-fuel burning stove. The dual aspect, farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room, with tiled floor, is fitted with a wide range of units, AGA fitted with Electrickit system, integral dishwasher, and ample space for a dining table and chairs. In the newer part of the property at the rear of an inner hallway is a double bedroom, shower room and utilities cupboard. A half and half stable door leads to the Japanese style courtyard with arbor.
On the first floor are 3 double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is to the rear and has an ensuite bathroom. One bedroom has access to a large loft space, which is boarded. There is a family bathroom that serves the 2 bedrooms.
The outside space is a real feature with landscaped grounds extending to 0.17 acres. Off the lane is a parking area for 4 cars, a single garage, and a shed. An archway leads through to the gardens which are laid principally to level lawn. The two pedestrian gates lead to the road and a path to the front door. The gardens are private, bordered by part fencing, part brick wall, and established hedging. The landscaped gardens are interspersed with a wide array of attractive and well-established flower beds, an inviting covered seating area, and an attractive Japanese style courtyard to the rear.
