4 bedroom detached house for sale

Nursery Cottage is a delightful period property that features almost 2,500 square feet of attractive accommodation arranged over two floors. The property retains various splendid original character details, including brick-built fireplaces and exposed timber beams, combined with refined, attractive styling and fittings throughout.

The ground floor offers five beautifully presented reception rooms, with the heart of the home being the open-plan kitchen and dining room. Parquet flooring runs through both rooms, which are connected via an open squared archway, with the kitchen featuring contemporary shaker-style units and a central island with a breakfast bar, while the dining room displays a handsome fireplace, repurposed as a seating nook. Double doors connect to another open, airy and light filled reception area in the sitting room and family room, both of which have cornicing and part-panelled walls. The sitting room has a grand brick-built fireplace, fitted with a woodburning stove, while the family room welcomes plenty of natural light through its French doors. Further ground-floor living and entertaining areas include the sunny garden room and the generous second family room, both of which benefit from French doors opening to the garden. In addition to the ground floor, the outbuilding has been converted to provide a spacious sitting room with planning permission in place to create a further bedroom with en-suite. Great for generational living.

Upstairs there are four well-presented bedrooms, three of which are doubles, with the fourth being ideal for use as a study, dressing room or nursery. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the first-floor landing also leads to family bathroom with a bathtub and shower unit. A seperate WC is accessed from the landing and there is a further shower room to the ground level.

At the entrance to the property, the gravel driveway provides plenty of parking space for several vehicles, while the detached double carport provides additional parking and storage.
