Description

The house dates back to the 1930s and has been transformed over time into an immaculately presented home. The accommodation flows exceptionally well, with wonderfully proportioned, light filled rooms throughout. The front door opens into a central hallway, and beyond this you are drawn into an impressive reception space, currently arranged as a sitting room, though its scale and layout lend themselves to a variety of uses. This superb room is bathed in natural light from its dual aspect and French doors to the outside, creating an effortless connection with the garden. Adjacent is the kitchen/dining room, which again benefits from a dual aspect. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and induction hob. The proportions of the room also allow for a generous dining area.

A door from the sitting room leads to the rear of the cottage where there are four double bedrooms, thoughtfully placed to offer privacy from the reception areas. Each bedroom benefits from high ceilings and large windows. The principal bedroom enjoys a large, well appointed en suite shower room, while a second bedroom also features its own en suite. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and a study completes the accommodation.
