Top Road, Kingsley, WA6

Set in a much sought after non estate position, this beautifully crafted cottage seamlessly blends timeless character with stylish contemporary additions.

Our clients acquired the house in 2014 and then embarked upon a comprehensive programme of renovation including a cleverly planned extension and the construction of a substantial double garage. An enormous amount of care has been taken to enhance the appeal of the cottage whilst creating a fusion of traditional elegance and contemporary living. The layout caters perfectly for day to day living and enjoying indoor/outdoor entertaining as a superb open plan living area connects to a large terrace, with West facing elevated views over the garden and beyond.

The ground floor layout has been re-modelled to create spaces that flow and connect and can be used separately as required, providing privacy.

There is welcoming hallway with a high vaulted ceiling which immediately sets a refined tone. Oak flooring runs through to the dining room and beyond, to a comfortable sitting room. This room features a log burning stove, ideal for cozy winter evenings.

The main living area is to the rear of the house and is an impressive open plan kitchen/dining and living room. There is a wide bi-folding door connecting to the large terrace and a large roof lantern allowing natural light to flood in. The views from the rear extend over the garden and to the tree-tops of adjacent natural woodland.  

The kitchen is fitted with quality cabinets, quartz worktops and quality built in appliances. This is supported by a walk-in larder and a large utility room with further storage and ample space for laundry appliances. There is also a cloakroom/WC off the entrance hall.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and two luxury bathrooms, one being en-suite to the main bedroom. This large bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling and full height windows taking full advantage of the aspect and beautiful views.

The house has gas fired central heating plus solar panels and battery storage to reduce energy costs and minimise the carbon footprint.

The exterior of the property is impressive and has been transformed with thoughtful landscaping and cultivation. There is driveway access to the side leading to a substantial double garage with electrically operated door and workshop space. The rear garden enjoys a high level of privacy and a sunny West facing aspect. It is terraced with several levels creating separate areas to enjoy. The upper terrace is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Steps lead to a lower section, perfect for relaxation. Further levels include a vegetable garden, fruit cage, greenhouse and shed. The lower sections are laid to lawn making these perfect for children to play and explore the tranquil woodland surroundings.
