Bay Tree Cottage is an absolutely charming, stone-built corner cottage. This gem of a find has elegantly characterful décor throughout its meandering rooms which are spacious and offer options of use to provide just the right number of reception and bedrooms you need. The picturesque split level rear gardens have been mindfully planted to complement its cottage staging and there is secure parking for two cars.
The white painted, studded timber door opens to the hallway with dado rail, stairs rising to the first floor and a pendant light. A pine door with glazed panels opens into the charming sitting room with a Georgian style window to the front. For cosy nights in, an Adam style fire surround with cast iron and tiled inserts houses a gas coals fire and has a built-in cupboard to the side providing a useful base for the television. Wall and pendant lighting provide evening ambience and an under-stairs niche is fitted with bookshelves and has a further built-in cupboard.
Pine double doors with glazed inserts open to the dual aspect and spacious breakfast kitchen with further seating area. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of stripped pine wall and base cabinets to include a dresser, drawer banks and basket storage. Granite worksurfaces and upstands surround and have an inset Butlers sink unit with French style mixer tap and etched side drainer all set beneath the window to the rear. Also inset is the Bosch four-burner gas hob with oven and grill below and extractor fan over whilst, to one side, is an eye-level second oven with microwave/steaming oven above. There is space for a fridge, plumbing for an automatic dishwasher and the rear stable-style door opens to the porch which offers further room for a tall freezer, has a side window and a door to the garden. Along with the natural light from the windows there are two pendant lights and the remaining area offers more than ample space for a kitchen table and chairs plus a sofa if required.
The ceramic tiled floor continues past a stone step into the dining room which has a lantern roof and French windows to the garden and provides a beautiful formal dining room with both wall lights and recessed downlights for a comfortable aura.
A further step up, a pine door and ceramic tiled floor leads to the inner hall which has a built-in double cupboard with housing and plumbing for utility white goods. Doors from the hall lead to the elegant and triple aspect lounge with two side windows and French windows. A tranquil room to enjoy the garden from, this lounge has could easily provide a ground floor bedroom as it sits alongside the shower room fitted with a white three-piece suite.
At the top of the stairs, the landing has a pendant light and stripped pine doors to the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a window to the front, pendant light and a built-in wardrobe to one corner. A pine door opens to a further ante-room with window to the front, a pendant light and which is used as a dressing room or children’s bedroom.
A second door opens to a spacious “Jack and Jill” bathroom with rear opaque window, laminate flooring and a three-piece white suite comprising roll-top claw-foot bath with telephone style mixer tap and hand shower, high-flush w.C. And pedestal wash basin. Fitted pine shelves sit to one end of the bath and there is a further fitted cabinet for toiletries.
A pine door from the bathroom opens to the second bedroom which has a rear window, built in cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler and ample space for wardrobes and drawer banks.
Tall, double timber gates open to the rear garden and give way to a pebbled apron providing parking for two cars. A York stone sun terrace and barbecue area sits just outside the dining room windows and provides an ideal spot for pre-dinner drinks overlooking the picturesque split-level garden. Steps rise to the lawn area which is surrounded by mature hedges and shrubs, parts being bordered by dry-stone walling. To one side is a greenhouse, summerhouse and shed for essential garden tools. Dipping beneath a buddleia, further steps give way to another flagged sun terrace overlooking the garden and having a honeysuckle laden arbour to the corner. Just below is a brick edged pebbled area with a central water feature and steps down to the rear lounge whilst to the side is a broad border of cottage garden perennials, herbaceous planting and trellis lined fencing for the soft fruits. Beautiful.
