Description
Believed to date back to the early 1800s, Heath Cottages forms part of the former Wilkinson's Sanitorium and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historical significance. Originally one substantial building, the property was divided many years ago to create two distinctive cottages, each retaining a wealth of character and charm throughout.
Occupying a picturesque position on Belmont Road, the property is approached through beautifully maintained front gardens featuring mature trees, shrubs and planting, with a pathway leading to a charming stone-built entrance porch.
Internally, the accommodation seamlessly combines period character with modern practicality. The welcoming entrance hall showcases attractive stone flooring, which continues into the study. This versatile room benefits from exposed ceiling beams, natural light from the front elevation and provides an ideal space for home working.
A convenient ground floor WC sits off the hallway before leading through to the well-appointed kitchen. Fitted with an extensive range of units and integrated appliances including a Neff gas hob, Bosch double oven and integrated dishwasher, the kitchen offers ample storage and workspace whilst maintaining a traditional cottage feel.
The centrepiece of the home is the impressive ground floor lounge. Featuring a striking log-burning stove set within a brick fireplace, this spacious reception room provides a warm and inviting atmosphere. A timber door offers direct access to the beautifully landscaped rear garden.
Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained. A Sorrento block-paved patio provides excellent outdoor seating space, surrounded by mature shrubs, established planting, trees and a pergola. A greenhouse and additional garden areas create a tranquil setting rarely found within similar properties. A gate provides convenient access directly onto Belmont Road.
To the first floor, a generous reception room currently utilised as a second lounge offers exceptional flexibility and could easily serve as a third bedroom if required. This room enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and benefits from access to an adjoining shower room.
A further double bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a Worcester combination boiler, installed approximately five years ago and serviced annually.
The principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor, creating an impressive loft-style suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and dual aspect windows. Completing this superb space is a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, modernised in recent years and finished to a high standard with contemporary fittings and Velux roof windows.
Further benefits include a garage with power and lighting, driveway parking, front and rear water supplies, external power points, and the unique feature of a flying freehold arrangement which contributes to the property's distinctive character and history.
Homes of this calibre, age and provenance rarely come to market. Offering versatile accommodation, stunning gardens and a fascinating heritage, Heath Cottages presents a truly unique opportunity for buyers seeking something beyond the ordinary.
