This attractive period house with elevations of red brick and ornamental tiles was built in the 1800s and is well presented throughout offering character charm with a modern decor. The stable entrance door opens into a light and airy sitting room which boasts carpeted flooring and a large casement window overlooking the front of the property. An exposed brick fireplace fitted with an elegant log burner provides a wonderful focal point to the room with bespoke fitted furniture either side. A doorway leads through to the marvellous kitchen which is fitted with a modern range of wall and base units with a back door that leads to the utility outbuilding. Integrated appliances include an extractor hood, electric oven and electric hob with space for an undercounter fridge and dishwasher. A WC under the stairs completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to the master bedroom suite and the family bathroom. The master bedroom overlooks the front of the property and has an exposed brick fireplace, engineered oak flooring and a trendy ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is a great size and is finished in the same contemporary finish as the ensuite.

OUTSIDE
The property is set back from St. Johns Hill in a tucked away row of cottages. A gated pathway, which is shared with the neighbours leads to the front entrance. There is a small seating area opposite the front door which offers a lovely spot for a morning coffee. The garden itself is separate from the house and can be accessed along the same shared pathway at the front. It is fully enclosed with timber fencing and gets plenty of sun thanks to its south facing orientation. There is a lovely apple tree in the centre and a good amount of lawn space for children to play. A shingled path leads to the rear of the garden where a paved patio provides an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining. 

Behind the house there is an outbuilding that houses the boiler and is currently set up as a utility room. There is power and lighting and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
