The Heath, Breachwood Green, SG4

Property Insight:

This delightful three-bedroom farmworker’s cottage may be the picture of English rural living, but its convenient location also makes it ideal for commuters.  With a historic flint exterior that charms you from the moment you set eyes upon it, the interior is perfectly set up for modern living.  

Entering the property via the hallway, it immediately feels cosy and welcoming with its solid wooden floor and warm neutral colours.  The house opens up into a spacious, open plan downstairs living area, with the beautiful exposed-brick fireplace and log burner immediately drawing attention and conjuring up cosy evenings spent in front of the fire.    The room has timeless, neutral décor and there’s plenty of space for adding a comfy sofa or two.  The under-stair area has been opened up to provide handy additional storage space.

Transitioning from the sitting room and into the light and spacious kitchen-diner, this room has a distinct country-kitchen feel, in keeping with the style and location of the property.  The kitchen features cream Shaker-style cabinetry with solid wooden worktops; a large, deep-red electric range cooker and integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer and dishwasher.  There is a lovely dresser-style arrangement at one end of the room, providing plenty of storage space, and two windows which bring in plenty of natural light.  The open plan dining area has a glazed back door (introducing even more daylight) which opens directly on to the garden.  This provides a fantastic set up for entertaining during the summer months, with barbecues for family and friends, or simply enjoying a morning coffee or evening glass of wine on the patio.  A modern cloakroom with an oak and white suite completes the downstairs.

Upstairs, the neutral colour scheme continues.  There are three bedrooms – two comfortable doubles and a single bedroom which would also make a perfect home-office.  All the bedrooms are well-proportioned and the double bedrooms both benefit from built-in storage.  The bathroom is fully tiled and contemporary in style, with a modern white suite and large walk-in shower, which includes both wall and ceiling mounted shower heads.

To the rear of the house is a secluded and low-maintenance garden featuring both patio and lawned areas with borders.  It’s a manageable size and just waiting to be turned into a lovely space to enjoy during the summer.  At the bottom of the garden is a gate providing easy access to the road.  To the front of the cottage is a low-maintenance garden with a lawn, paved path and parking space for two cars. There is also access to an en-bloc garage at the side of the terrace – a handy space for extra storage

This wonderful cottage is perfect for those looking for character charm whilst still benefiting from an open plan layout usually found in more modern properties – it really offers the best of both worlds!
