What this property offers
About this property
From the moment you step inside, the warmth and personality of this home is unmistakable. The cosy double-aspect living/dining room is the heart of the cottage, featuring a charming wood-burning stove, elegant plantation style shutters, a delightful window seat, and bespoke oak detailing. An eye-catching industrial-style sliding wooden door leads through to the compact and attractive kitchen, complete with Belfast sink, fitted oven, ceramic hob and built in dishwasher.
From the kitchen a stylish shower room has been thoughtfully designed, boasting a spacious corner cubicle and contemporary finishes. Throughout the home, careful upgrades such as wall lights, and switches, uPVC double glazing, a gas combi boiler, and tasteful décor ensure comfort meets character.
Upstairs, a re-furbished engineered oak staircase leads to two inviting bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, with its period fireplace and charming half-height double window with window seat opening onto a small rooftop sun terrace, a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The second bedroom benefits from bespoke handmade and fitted wooden wardrobes, and access to the attic via a fold-down ladder, offering additional storage.
Outside, a quaint picket fence and gate welcome you in, while a pathway wraps around to a useful utility store, complete with plumbing for a washing machine and housing the Baxi gas combi boiler.
Every detail of this cottage has been carefully considered, from the Travertine Stone flooring and antique-style grey column radiators, the reclaimed scaffold board shelving in the kitchen and to the painted wide plank bedroom flooring.
Whether you`re searching for a characterful first home, a peaceful retreat, or a charming holiday escape, this delightful cottage offers something truly special.
