2 bedroom cottage

A truly charming detached cottage of character occupying a delightful backwater setting having the advantages of a good sized garden and double garage with lots of parking, located in the heart of the north east Northamptonshire village of Wilbarston.

Retaining a wealth of individual features including exposed stonework, and a cast iron log burner, this sympathetically modernised cottage is approached via an attractive entrance porch and hallway off which is a recently refitted cloakroom/wc, well appointed dining kitchen with granite working surfaces and cooker range, separate dining room with feature brick fireplace and double doors opening into an inner hallway/study having a glazed pitched roof creating an abundance of natural light. The living room is of excellent size with mock beamed ceiling, cast iron log burner and French double doors leading out to the gardens.

On the upper floor off a central landing are two good sized bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom with four piece suite including a separate shower cubicle.

Beneath the kitchen is a useful cellar providing excellent storage space.

The gardens form a most attractive feature of the property, being of excellent size and attractively landscaped, approached from Scotts Lane via a gated pedestrian access and via Queens Road with a wooden five bar gate opening into an extensive gravelled driveway leading to a detached double garage. The garden includes several seating and patio areas with well stocked flower and shrub beds, timber garden shed and superb summer house with glazed doors opening onto a wooden decked area enjoying a sunny aspect.
