We have pleasure in offering to the market this deceptive period cottage which offers a wealth of character and features, occupying a central location on a particularly unexpectedly generous plot with the rear garden extending to around 280ft in length, with the plot lying in the region of 1/5 of an acre.
The cottage itself is understood to date back to the 1800s with each room offering it's own character, many with exposed beams, attractive floor coverings and original style period windows and internal doors. The property offers a good deal of versatility, extending to around 1,300sq.ft. of accommodation as well as an attached integral garage which runs the full depth of the property, offering a further 200sq.ft. of floor area, providing either off road parking, workshop space or potential for conversion subject to consent.
The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall which leads through into two main reception areas, the attractive dining room having beautiful exposed brick fireplace and heavily beamed ceiling and double doors leading into the sitting room which affords a delightful aspect into the rear garden. The adjacent kitchen leads through into a rear lobby and ground floor cloakroom. To the first floor, leading from a large, central, galleried landing, are four double bedrooms and the main bathroom.
As well as it's wealth of character one of the main features of the property is it's simply stunning plot which has been lovingly established over the years. Generous by modern standards it offers a good degree of privacy with initial paved, walled courtyard area leading back into the main receptions of the house, creating a fantastic outdoor entertaining space. In turn this leads onto a mainly lawned garden that has been lovingly cared for and established over the years, being well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs leading down into a more natural garden at the foot.
The property is certainly large enough to accommodate families but could well appeal to a wide audience, whether it be from professional couples or even those downsizing from considerably larger dwellings and appreciating an interesting home which is within a short walking distance of the heart of the town and it's wealth of amenities.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
