3 Bedroom Other

THE AGENT SAYS...
If you are looking for a home that you can make completely your own and with potential to adapt it to suit your specific lifestyle then 19 East Stoke could be perfect for you. This charming cottage is for sale with no onward chain and presented in fully liveable condition but in need of modernisation throughout. This could be a simple redecoration project or a more involved layout change/extension/loft conversion - this property has so much potential. It also has off-road parking - rare and very desirable for a terraced property - and the garden is fully private with no right of way obligations.

THE PROPERTY
The main entrance is separated from the hall by a small lobby. The hallway is bright and welcoming and doors lead off to the ground floor accommodation. At the front of the cottage is a light and cheerful sitting room which is centred around a working fireplace and has a lovely bay window. The room is a good size and nicely proportioned for conversational furniture placement.

At the rear of the house is the kitchen which, like the sitting room, also has nice proportions and plenty of potential to create a wonderful heart of home. The kitchen overlooks the garden so is well suited to families; a bifold window would create a lovely link to the outdoors and act as an alfresco serving hatch. Off the kitchen is a rear hallway which provides access to the garden, bathroom and stairs to the first floor. The under stairs cupboard is accessed from the kitchen. The bathroom, like the kitchen, is dated but fully functional and in good condition. Changing the layout so the WC is not directly visible from the kitchen would be a good consideration as part of any planned refit.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms - two double rooms and a single room. The two back bedrooms have a lovely view over the surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE
The property has off-road parking for one vehicle at the rear, accessed via a track from Stonehill. This also provides access to the rear garden via a metal field gate. There is potential to add a garage if required.

The small front garden is surrounded by a low wall topped with railings and a metal gate opens to the front path. Some potted plants or low maintenance permanent planting would soften and compliment the golden facade beautifully. There is also space for a hidden bin store if required.

The rear garden has been hard landscaped for easy maintenance and features raised stone planters with attractive shrubs. There is a lovely sinuous path that runs the length of the garden. If a greener space is more desirable then this path would look lovely flanked by lawn. The garden is a really great size and has bags of potential, with space to add further parking or a summerhouse/home office at the far end, similar to the neighbouring properties. There is also a handy store attached to the rear of the house.

SERVICES
Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating.
