3 bedroom terraced house for sale

A delightful mid terrace cottage full of charm and character with large cottage style garden

THE PROPERTY
Bakery Cottage occupies a pleasant position within the village of Badby part of an attractive street scene of period properties sitting in a partly elevated position within the village Conservation Area. The cottage is largely built of local ironstone under a slate tiled roof with traditional timber casement windows and doors. The property is thought to date back to the 18th century and was once possibly thatched. It was altered sympathetically in the 1980’s to provide a larger ground floor plan to include a kitchen, utility and bathroom along with a first floor single bedroom/dressing room. The original part of the cottage retains the expected period features of the era and is well presented yet not over modernised to lose its authenticity.
The arrangement of rooms includes a central front door leading to a small lobby and two charming reception rooms each with stoves, window seats and working shutters. The dining hall has a useful understairs cupboard and an attractive timber floor. The kitchen at the rear of the property is beautifully fitted with handmade custom made pine cupboards and drawers by Fraser James with polished granite work surfaces and upstands. There is a double bowl ceramic sink with Perrin and Rowe taps. There is a Miele integrated oven and hob and a glazed door leads out onto the garden terrace. The ground floor family bathroom has Fired Earth sanitaryware and incorporates a traditional cast iron roll top bath, pedestal wash hand and basin and WC with travertine tiled walls and flooring. There are three first floor bedrooms all with good ceiling heights and a useful cloakroom all accessed off a central landing.
A particular feature of the property is the charming rear garden which enjoys a pleasing aspect. Adjacent to the cottage itself is a large stone paved terrace ideal for outside dining with steps up onto the lawn. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and shrubs underplanted with cottage style plants for year round interest. There is a magnificent ancient apple tree, magnolia tree and an ornamental garden pond. A private right of way in favour of Bakery Cottage provides pedestrian access.
