UNIQUE FIND - A beautifully presented late-1800s semi-detached cottage, offering three bedrooms, an extended kitchen-diner with log burner, flexible living spaces and a separate converted annex, complemented by generous, GATED DRIVEWAY parking and extensive gardens (front lawns, rear courtyard, additional large detached garden).

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Situated on the westerly edge of Dousland, this charming late-19th-century semi-detached cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character and thoughtful modernisation, all set within a private and peaceful position.

The property is approached via a private road and a double five-bar gated entrance, opening onto a generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. The driveway is framed by a large lawned front garden with pedestrian access, creating an attractive and welcoming approach.
Upon entering the main house, you are greeted by a spacious and inviting entrance hall, the decor throughout is a true credit to the current owners, who have carefully retained much of the original cottage charm while upgrading the property to a high standard.

The ground floor accommodation is both flexible and well-proportioned. A home office / studio enjoys patio doors opening onto the front garden, making it ideal for home working or creative use. The main living room is cosy yet spacious, featuring doors to the front garden and a delightful working log burner, perfect for evenings in. At the heart of the home is the extended kitchen-diner, a superb social space finished in a classic country style with wall and floor mounted units. A further log burner adds warmth and character, while Velux windows flood the room with natural light. The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed bathroom with both a separate bath and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the cottage offers three bedrooms, comprising two comfortable double rooms and a single.

Further enhancing the accommodation is a separate annex, formerly a detached garage and now converted into 'The Burrows'. This versatile space is currently arranged as open-plan accommodation with a living area that could also serve as a bedroom, along with a mezzanine level (with restricted head height) currently housing a bed, and a modern shower room. This addition is ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential Airbnb income.

Outside, the property enjoys a variety of outdoor spaces, including the large lawned front garden, a rear courtyard, and a particularly impressive detached garden located just opposite the driveway. This extensive plot is bordered by mature trees and shrubs and offers excellent potential for a range of uses, from recreation to gardening or further landscaping.
A characterful and versatile village home in a highly desirable position, offering space, privacy, and lifestyle flexibility.

The cottage is complete with modern uPVC double glazing, central heating and benefits from 9 owned solar panels with DC coupled battery.
