A quintessential cottage setting…


A timber door with a stained-glass inlay guides into the good-sized sitting room which enjoys a timber sash window overlooking the pretty, cobbled Church Street. The focal point of the reception room is the limestone ingle fireplace with brick surround and stone flagged hearth which houses a log burning stove.  To the side is a fitted cupboard housing the energy meters with a television point above, whilst the opposite wall has timber panelling to dado height.
      

Put the kettle on…


A further timber door with glazed insets gives way to the breakfast kitchen which is fitted with cream-coloured Shaker-style cabinets and drawers with splash tiling n between. The wood effect work surfaces have an inset stainless steel sink unit, set beneath the double-glazed timber window to the rear. Also inset is a four-burner gas hob with an electric oven and grill below and a canopy style extractor fan over whilst integrated appliances include and a refrigerator and freezer. The area is lit by a ceiling light and a part-glazed timber door opens into the rear courtyard. 
      

The adjacent utility room has a rear window and plumbing for a washing machine and could alternatively be converted into a downstairs w.c.


Sweet dreams…


From the kitchen, a timber staircase and handrail rise to the first floor where there are two rooms off.


The master bedroom is situated to the front of the property and has characterful, exposed broad timber floorboards, a single glazed timber sash window - again overlooking Church Street – a timber latched door and wardrobes and shelving fitted to the alcoves created by the characterful chimney breast. 

      

The small second room, with a double-glazed timber window to the rear, could be used as a dressing area, cot room, home office space or could even be incorporated into either the bathroom or master bedroom to extend either of these rooms.
       

The bathroom has a double-glazed timber window to the rear, a pendant light, vinyl flooring and a chrome heated towel rail.  The white three-piece suite comprises a panelled bath with wall-mounted shower-boards, protective glass screen and bar shower above, a low flush w.c. and a vanity style wash hand basin situated above the bulkhead of the stairs.  A storage cupboard houses the Baxi central heating boiler.
   


Outdoor Oasis…


The rear courtyard garden is simply laid to flagstone at present with low brick walls to the rear and sides and having a picket-fence atop.  There is a timber shed in situ and a small brick-built raised flower bed plus space for outdoor furniture. 
    

To the rear of the garden, a timber gate leads to a shared passageway giving access onto Church Street for No. 3 and its neighbouring properties.  The garden directly faces the river and has views over the stone-built river wall, the opposing riverbank and the famous Pack Horse Bridge which crosses the River Yarrow.
