2 bedroom terraced house

From the quintessential lavender bushes and picket fence of a pretty front garden to the cohesive palette of soft natural tones and considered detailing that flow throughout each and every aspect of its layout, this enviable period cottage is simply stunning.

Step in from the coastal blue doorway of a classic red brick facade and you’ll discover a hugely accomplished pared-back aesthetic. A generous reception room sets the tone for what’s to come with the elegant simplicity of its design. A wood burner nestles within the fireplace on a black granite hearthstone and while the wood effect floor adds a warming balance to the room, fitted shaker-style cabinetry and floating shelves in the chimney breast alcoves supply ample storage without encroaching on the floor space.

The exceptional presentation continues in the adjoining kitchen/dining room where high feature wall panelling stretches out before you and the cleverly extended layout creates delineated spaces to both cook and dine in style. Topped with solid wood, shaker-style cabinets in the large kitchen area complement those of the main living room and together they house the charm of a butler sink and an integrated oven and hob. Richly glazed metro tiled splashbacks are tastefully chosen and the excellent dimensions include a handy hidden alcove as well as ample space for a console and freestanding fridge freezer. Gently raised to give delineation, the equally outstanding dining area is beautifully filled with light from a large roof lantern. The understated hues of the wall panels changes to a soft refined green and French doors tempt you out into the landscaped garden.

Detailing such as the crisp white window shutters and low level column radiators continue upstairs where a duo of double bedrooms project a hugely calm and restful feel. Traditional latch wood doors open onto each room, the second bedroom has a fitted desk space that makes it an ideal place to create a home office and a built in airing cupboard with shelves. Tucked discreetly away, the ground floor bathroom adds a final touch of quiet understated luxury. A full size bath has a magnificent overhead waterfall shower with an exposed riser and handset, metro tiles bounce light around the room and a matte black slimline towel radiator complements the monochrome patterning of an encaustic style tiled floor.

Outside
Landscaped to reflect the style and specification of the cottage, a south-west facing garden is utterly enticing. High border fencing gives a feeling of privacy, a central Astroturf lawn add plenty of greenery and two distinct seating spaces give a choice of spots to sit back and enjoy al fresco dining or an afternoon siesta. A secure rear gate provides handy direct access to a log store and storage for bins.
