A truly stunning individual detached period cottage which offers an excellent level of accommodation approaching 2000 sq ft and laid out over four tiers with split level accommodation. The property was totally refurbished two years ago and provides considerable character and versatility with each room packed with its own individual features including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, solid fuel fireplaces and attractive exposed internal brick and stonework creating what is a truly unique home.
The property offers an attractive part brick and stone facade beneath a pantiled roof with cottage style triple glazed windows and doors behind which lies up to four bedrooms, two reception areas including a superb L shaped open plan living/dining kitchen with family room off, tastefully appointed with a beautiful kitchen with polished stone preparation surfaces and integrated appliances, with useful utility off and ground floor shower room.
The main sitting room offers immense character with exposed beams, attractive solid fuel stoves to either end of the reception and benefitting from a dual aspect creating a really interesting space. The initial central hallway offers a split level staircase with high vaulted ceiling, exposed stone and brickwork and leads to the four bedrooms, the master of which again offers immense character with beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe off. There is an additional separate family bathroom which together with the ensuite have recently been tastefully refurbished with modern but traditional style suites.
The property occupies an attractive landscaped corner plot benefitting from two driveways, one of which leads to an over-sized garage providing secure parking or workshop space. The terraced gardens are laid out to two separate areas, one being a hard landscaped terrace to the westerly aspect catching the afternoon and evening sun. To the south there is a raised lawned area with established borders, useful storage shed and elevated views to the rear.
Located within the garden is also the useful addition of an attractive brick and stone outbuilding which is currently utilised as a workshop with useful cloakroom, but had change of use in 2007 to be permitted to use as a business and therefore potentially could make an excellent home office particularly with today's way of working.
