Description
Hampsons Estate Agents are delighted to present to the market this incredibly attractive double-fronted cottage which dates back to 1907 and has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment including a recent replacement roof and damp proof course. The property is nestled in the heart of the conservation area of Barkby village surrounded by bucolic views of Barkby Brook and farmland.
The internal accommodation comprises in brief a beautifully cosy lounge with feature exposed brick fireplace with multi-fuel stove and a feature internal window. An attractive staircase rises to the first floor and a door leads into a stunning, traditional dining kitchen. The kitchen area is superbly fitted with handmade Moir & Wade units with granite worktops and space for a range style cooker. The dining area has ample space for a dining table and there is a door to a tastefully decorated downstairs WC.
To the first floor there is a landing with doors leading off to two double bedrooms, both having lovely village views and there is a third, single bedroom. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom with a traditional suite of panelled bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
The rear garden is enclosed by red brick walling and has been professionally landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind with flagstoned patio areas with gravelled relief and there is a versatile outbuilding that has been converted into a studio or home office with separate access from the footpath to the side of the property.
