Accommodation

This lovely cottage is approached via a path through the charming garden to a covered storm porch providing an excellent spot to remove wellies after a Sunday walk and an oak latched door leads into the dining room with original flagstone flooring and a lovely dressed stone fireplace with shelving to the adjoining recess, a window to the front and a doorway through to the sitting room. Throughout the property are lovely original features with the convenience of oil central heating, modern lighting and a wired in media system to each living and sleeping space with speakers mounted in the ceiling but finished in white so they barely noticeable.

The sitting room is a generous and cosy room with a dressed stone fireplace matching the one in the dining room but with the addition of a wood burning stove mounted on a raised brick hearth making this an idyllic room for those dark winter evenings.

Proceeding back through the dining room another latched door leads into the kitchen where the original staircase leads to the first floor with two cupboards providing storage beneath. The terracotta quarry tiled floor provides the perfect contrast to the hand built kitchen in a duck egg blue painted finish with a solid wood worktop over and a Belfast sink in the perfect position beneath the window to the rear and an electric oven and hob. A further door to the side of the kitchen leads through to the family room, again a generous reception space and currently providing a great playroom area for the owners' daughter - this could also provide a quiet work and office space for those working from home or even an additional ground floor bedroom if needed.

Moving back to the kitchen and up the original stairs a lovely bright landing emerges with glass and oak balustrades to the stairs and a fabulous ceiling height following the roof pitch where two skylight windows flood this space with light. A high quality solid oak floor extends through this area and on into the bedrooms and there is a window to the rear and if needed this landing could potentially be adapted to create a third bedroom. At the head of the stairs a latched door leads into the master bedroom with a window overlooking the garden and space for an array of wardrobe and bedroom furniture without intruding on space for the bed. From the landing/snug a step leads up to doors to both bedroom 2 and the bathroom, with bedroom 2 being up a further step through a latched door and similar proportions to the master bedroom make this an airy bedroom which enjoys views over the garden to the front.

A step down from the landing accesses the bathroom with a window to the rear and additional skylight window over the bath. The suite is a traditional suite of a toilet, pedestal wash hand basin and enamelled bath with electric shower over and panelling around the bath has been painted in a pale blue to echo the finish in the kitchen. A cupboard to one corner houses the hot water tank and a worktop is mounted over a space with plumbing for the washing machine.

Outside

The cottage is accessed via an access road providing off street parking where a gate then leads into the lovely garden with paths winding to both a patio seating and bbq area and past barked areas framed with wooden sleepers and stone edged flower beds. Against the front of the cottage is a further stone patio area provides a further seating area and there is a wooden painted boiler shed and next to the lawn is a larger gardeners shed and also a well screened plastic bunded oil tank. This garden really is a pretty feature to this cottage and as the property is set back from the road up the access track to the cottage provides a peaceful and pretty area to enjoy the spring and summer.
