Ivy Cottage offers a pleasant blend of contemporary and traditional features from UPVC double windows and a 'Worcester' combination boiler, to exposed timber beams and brickwork and cast iron fireplaces. The ground floor is made up of an entrance hall, W.C, kitchen/diner, hallway, sitting room and living room, while on the second floor, a landing area gives way to 2 double bedrooms and the modern bathroom. Accessed off the landing, a stairwell rises up to a fantastic attic room, which accommodates the master suite boasting a private shower room and ample storage cupboards. Distant rear views are enjoyed from the second and third floors. Accessed from the ground floor hallway, a stairwell leads down to the useful cellar, which is presents an ideal storage area.
