Description

A beautifully presented double-fronted cottage dating back to the late 19th century, thoughtfully extended and comprehensively refurbished to create a distinctive period family home. The property successfully combines original character features with high-quality contemporary finishes, offering versatile and well-proportioned accommodation throughout.

The ground floor is entered into a welcoming sitting room, which enjoys a delightful double aspect. To the front are traditional sash-style windows, while to the side a set of feature arched windows allows additional natural light to flood the room. A brick-built fireplace with wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point, adding warmth and character. Leading off the sitting room is a useful study, positioned to the side aspect and ideal for home working or many other uses.

Also accessed from the sitting room is a ground floor cloakroom incorporating a generous storage cupboard, along with the staircase rising to the first floor. A further doorway leads through to the impressive kitchen/dining room, which is a true highlight of the home.

The kitchen/dining room is a superb, light-filled space, beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of base and eye-level units, display cabinets, a traditional butler sink with mixer tap, granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar. A selection of integrated appliances enhances both practicality and style. A roof lantern provides excellent natural light, while there is ample space for a large dining table and chairs, making it ideal for family living and entertaining. Double doors provide side access, and an open connection leads seamlessly into the family room.

The family room is an excellent addition, spanning almost the full width of the property. This impressive space features large bi-fold doors opening onto the rear patio and garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from generous proportions and ample fitted wardrobe space. There are two further well-sized double bedrooms, all served by a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom.

One of the standout features of the property is the beautifully established garden. Enjoying a desirable south-easterly aspect to the rear, the garden offers an idyllic country feel with areas of lawn, well-stocked flower beds and borders, mature trees and established hedging providing privacy and charm. Within the garden is a useful storage shed with power. To the front of the property there is driveway parking, completing this highly attractive and characterful home.
