Property Insight:

This charming, semi-detached cottage is located in the lovely setting of Shillington village and is full of attractive period features.

As you enter the property via the enclosed porch to the side and step into the entrance hall, the cottage’s period charm is immediately apparent.  Well-presented throughout, the property features original beamwork in most rooms which helps create a wonderfully cosy ambience.

The kitchen has been designed in a country-kitchen style.  Dual-aspect and with a beamed ceiling, it features smart shaker-style white cabinetry with contrasting black work surfaces, patterned blue feature tiles and rustic floor tiles in a shade of terracotta.  A feature wall is painted in periwinkle blue and there is a decent amount of storage space.  Integrated appliances include an electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher - plus there is space for a fridge-freezer.  A door provides direct access to the garden – handy if you enjoy eating alfresco or summer entertaining.

A door from the kitchen leads to the dining room.  This is a lovely bright space, thanks to its double aspect windows, and is decorated in crisp white and mint green to showcase the dark beamwork and warm wooden flooring.  It’s the ideal setting for relaxed family meals or hosting friends, and has plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. 

Beyond the kitchen and dining room is a generously sized sitting room.  Simple and stylish, its neutral colour scheme complements the wooden flooring and beautiful beamwork.  The focal point of the room is undoubtedly its impressive brick fireplace and it’s easy to imagine cosying up in front of the fire on a winter’s evening.  This highly versatile room has plenty of space for furniture and can easily be configured to suit your own needs, providing the perfect setting whether you’re relaxing with family or entertaining friends.  A door provides additional access to the garden, facilitating indoor-outdoor living during the summer months.  Completing the downstairs is a handy cloakroom with white sanitaryware.

Upstairs are three comfortable and well-proportioned double bedrooms.  The main bedroom is spacious and features more attractive beamwork.  Decorated in white and with a neutral carpet, it provides a tranquil space to retreat to after a busy day, as well as benefiting from its own ensuite shower room.  The shower room is stylish and contemporary in design, featuring a walk-in shower with marble-effect wall tiles, geometric-patterned floor tiles and a modern white suite.  The further two bedrooms are both similarly-sized, airy double rooms with neutral carpets and a coloured feature wall in each.  The family bathroom features a natural colour scheme, wooden flooring and white sanitaryware, including a full-size bath.

Outside, the west-facing garden has plenty of space and features a variety of lawned, gravelled and patio areas, making it ideal for both entertaining and for young children to play.  To the side of the garden is access to the garage which benefits from parking in front

If you love the charm of period properties and are looking for a village setting, this delightful cottage could be perfect for you.
