The House

The ground floor features a large functional sitting room measuring 4.62m x 3.28m (15'2" x 10'9"). This room is centred around a stunning open fireplace, creating a wonderfully atmospheric focal point. Timber flooring, soft décor and the proportions of the room make it an ideal space for relaxing while still accommodating comfortable seating arrangements.

Beyond the sitting room lies the kitchen and dining room which is a beautifully presented space measuring 4.71m x 3.35m (15'6" x 11'0"). The kitchen blends rustic character with modern convenience, offering exposed beams, wooden flooring, integrated appliances and ample countertop space. The room is large enough to accommodate a good sized family dining room table and chairs and consists of; integrated under counter fridge, integrated washing machine, integrated dishwasher, two bowl sink and drainer, numerous storage cupboards and work surfaces, space for electric range cooker. There is a window in front of the sink which provides a pleasant view all the way down the garden.

From the kitchen can be found the door to the garden and the ground floor bathroom. This stylish modern bathroom has been recently re-furbished by the owners to a high standard and consists of; roll top bath with large shower head over, WC, heated towel rail, sink with storage cupboards under and tiled flooring with underfloor heating.

The first floor contains two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main master double bedroom is generous in its size measuring 4.60m x 3.35m (15'1" x 11'0") and enjoys a fantastic vantage point over Newick Village Green. This wonderfully light room can easily accommodate a large double bed as well as a variety of bedroom furniture. It also benefits from two built in wardrobes and a stunning cast iron feature fireplace which adds to the character of this lovely sizable master bedroom.

The second bedroom measures 4.17m x 2.62m (13'8" x 8'7") and is quite comfortably a double bedroom, again large enough to accommodate a double bed and an array of bedroom furniture. This room also benefits from two large built in wardrobes and an attractive feature fireplace. There are two windows in this room which allows natural daylight to flood into the space, and exposed wooden beams which again add to the character. There is also enough room to have a desk set up in this room as well if desired.

The second floor staircase is accessed through Bedroom 2 and leads to a third further double bedroom measuring 3.50m x 3.35m (11'6" x 11'0"). This room provides further elevated views over the village green, and could be used as a games room or study as well as a double bedroom if desired.

Outside

The rear terrace and decked area provide generous outdoor seating options, and the garden itself is surprisingly spacious for a village-centre cottage, with a mix of lawn pathways and raised patio areas. It is also a very private garden tucked away from the neighbours either side.

There is a brick outbuilding measuring 2.27m x 2.70m (7'5" x 8'10") at the end of the garden. This space has power and light and offers excellent potential as a utility room, hobby space, workshop or even home gym.

Beyond the garden and outbuilding lies a parking area which provides allocated parking for two vehicles. This is certainly a rare advantage for a home in such a central location.

The cottage is positioned directly on Newick Village Green, placing The Village Bakery, The Pantry Coffee Shop, The Bull, Crown and Royal Oak pubs, Newick Tandoori Restaurant, well stocked convenience store, pharmacy, doctors surgery and bus routes within exceptionally close walking distance. A wealth of public footpaths begins almost at the doorstep, offering scenic routes through the surrounding countryside.
