Hillesley, Wotton-under-Edge

A beautifully appointed cottage nestled into the village of Hillesley, just on the edge of the Cotswold Hills with two bedrooms and a low maintenance garden.

Martine Cottage is a very attractive, mid-terraced cottage that has been tastefully updated by the current owners during the past two years of their ownership, now offering a ready to go, low maintenance home. These updates include a newly fitted bathroom, double glazed windows and doors, redecoration throughout with new flooring and wall tiling in the kitchen and the full landscaping of the rear garden, to name just a few.

The accommodation is commenced via a useful entrance porch with space for coat and shoe storage and a very attractive encaustic tiled floor. A further door leads into the sitting room where there is a focal fireplace with a multi-fuel stove inset that also runs the central heating system. A solid wooden floor runs throughout the room and there is a window seat and stairs that rise to the first floor. Beyond the sitting room is the kitchen/dining room which has both a partially glazed door and window overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen itself is fitted with a Shaker style range of wall and base units under a solid wooden worktop and is complete with a Belfast sink. There is an integrated fridge freezer, double oven and electric hob as well as a freestanding washing machine and dishwasher with the associated plumbing in place.

On the first-floor landing are doors to both bedrooms and the bathroom, plus a storage cupboard and a hatch to access the loft space with a drop-down ladder. Both bedrooms are of double proportion, one at the front and one at the rear, and the front bedroom has a cupboard that houses the hot water cylinder. The recently updated bathroom comprises a white suite that has both a bath and a separate shower with a double rainfall shower head. The room is half tiled in a natural finish and there is also a heated towel rail.

At the rear is a decked terrace that leads directly out from the kitchen with space for an outside dining table and a log store is fitted to one end. A couple of steps rise to a further tier that has been laid with an artificial lawn and a further flagstone patio at the end with a timber storage shed that has both power and lighting.

We understand the property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage, and there is a Gigaclear fast speed internet connection. Council tax band B (Stroud District Council).
