Property description
This wonderful period cottage is bursting with a combination of genuine charm, modern convenience and a high specification.
Number 4 Beare Cottages sits at the end of a small courtyard of similar cottages, which we believe, were once owned by Silverton Mill to house the mill workers within the convenient distance of where they worked. It offers well proportioned and planned accommodation that comprises of a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, ground floor shower room, plus 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there are modest enclosed gardens to the front and rear, plus off road car parking, a car port and storage shed/workshop. The property has, in previous years, been the subject of an extensive refurbishment and is now offered for sale in fine condition throughout. It benefits from some quality features, which are seldom found in property at this level, including a bespoke pine kitchen with matching joinery/detailing throughout, a beautifully appointed shower room on the ground floor and 'Jack and Jill' bathroom on the first floor which can be accessed from both bedrooms. One of the loveliest features, is the large stone inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, which incorporates a traditional wood burning stove. The cottage also benefits from modern conveniences in the from of oil fired central heating and sympathetically styled uPVC double glazing, which incorporates some leaded glass windows adding extra character to this lovely home.
