3 bedroom cottage

Newly offered to the market is this fantastic, deceptively very spacious three bedroom cottage. In a quiet, little known setting, the property has been carefully updated over the years by our vendor client, resulting in a perfect mix between a characterful, cottage-y feel, and modern living. Set to an unusually sizeable plot, the property offers ample parking to the driveway accessed via Hill End Road, and an oversized single garage, having light and electricity supplies. Beyond are three different areas; low maintenance slate chip, a traditional lawn with stepping stones, and paved patio area. Being south facing, the garden is a real sun trap. Arrange your viewing today, and you could be the one to enjoy those late summer evenings in the garden of this cottage of dreams! The accommodation extends to: entrance hall with WC, high quality farmhouse style kitchen with range style cooker, living room with wood burning stove, additional reception room to the rear; an orangery enjoying fantastic views. To the first floor are two bedrooms, one double, one single, (currently used as a dressing room), and fully tiled, modern bathroom. The second floor principal bedroom features a truly unique large picture window, with incredible views overlooking the valley.

GROUND FLOOR

HALLWAY

A welcoming entrance hall accessed via the charming timber front door with stained glass window. The hallway allows access to the stairs up to the first floor, and to the front facing farmhouse style kitchen. There is a compact but cleverly designed, fully tiled cloakroom/WC off the hallway, and plumbing facilities for a washing machine. The stone tiling continues from the hall into the kitchen.

KITCHEN - 3.58m x 3.38m (11'9" x 11'1")(maximum)

The front facing kitchen displays high quality solid oak cupboards and drawers to base and eye level, and ample oak effect laminate worktop space. The beautiful, matching kitchen dresser unit will be included in the sale. There is a large Belfast style ceramic sink with mixer tap, and also included in the sale is the Smeg range style cooker, American fridge/freezer, and integrated dishwasher. The gas fired combi boiler is also housed in the kitchen. The cellar head lends itself to use as a pantry having fitted shelving.

LOUNGE - 4.29m x 3.91m (14'1" x 12'10")

A spacious but cosy living room, having solid wood flooring which continues through to the rear facing orangery. The living room features decorative panelling to one wall, and a wood burning stove which is capable of heating the entire ground floor, the internal door between the living room and kitchen having been removed.

ORANGERY - 3.28m x 3.66m (10'9" x 12'0")

A fantastic addition, this rear facing reception room is south facing, and allows access via French doors to the rear garden. There are ceiling spotlights, obscure windows to either side, and the room does also have heating provided by a radiator.

FIRST FLOOR

BEDROOM TWO - 3m x 4.37m (9'10" x 14'4")(maximum)

A spacious, rear facing double bedroom.

BEDROOM THREE - 3.63m x 1.7m (11'11" x 5'7")

The letter measurement does not include the fitted wardrobe recess. The rear facing single bedroom is currently used as a dressing room, there also being under stairs storage with a hanging rail.

BATHROOM - 2.67m x 1.17m (8'9" x 3'10")

The measurements do not include the generous storage area above the bulkhead. The modern bathroom suite features full height tiling to the walls and tiling to the floor. There is a bath with shower over, and glass shower screen, WC, sink with cupboards below, mirror with sensor lighting, heated towel rail, ceiling spotlights, extractor fan, and front facing window with obscure glass.

SECOND FLOOR

BEDROOM ONE - 5.26m x 3.73m (17'3" x 12'3")

The measurements do not include the additional 6ft long area leading to the most unique picture window, allowing panoramic views of the valley. This area certainly lends itself to use as a reading nook, a fabulous place to unwind after a busy day. The bedroom has three Velux windows, two to the front, and one to the side, there are ceiling spotlights, and elevated plug sockets to the wall above the staircase, ideal for the mounting of a television.
