Accessed via a side door, you are welcomed into the property by a hallway leading straight into the heart of the home; the open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. This fabulously sociable space enjoys chic décor enhanced by attractive hardwood flooring. Ample space is provided for lounge and dining furniture and at the focal point of the room is a homely log-burning stove. The country-style kitchen is fitted with a range of crisp-white cabinets framed by spacious worktops and stylish metro tiling. It has been designed to incorporate a selection of integrated appliances, as well as space for a fridge freezer and a washing machine. A handy cupboard provides extra hidden storage space. French doors from the living room lead into a sunny conservatory; this versatile second reception area could lend itself to a variety of uses and opens directly onto the garden. The cottage houses two double bedrooms. The larger bedroom is fitted with richly-toned wood flooring and is arranged around a charming exposed brick fireplace. A quaint stained-glass window adds character to the room and a large cupboard offers useful hidden storage. The remaining bedroom is decorated in a sumptuous dark green shade offset by warmly-toned wood finishings and further benefits from excellent built-in storage.

A staircase from the hall leads to a floored attic and a wealth of storage space. Located on the ground floor and completing the accommodation is a stylishly-tiled bathroom comprising a shower-over-bath with a glazed screen, a pedestal basin and a WC. Gas central heating, powered by a combi boiler, and double glazing throughout ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
