The Property
Claret Cottage was built in the mid 1990's of traditional masonry construction to a renowned local architect's specification. The property design is unique and like many properties of its era, it benefits from well proportioned rooms, wide timber double glazed windows and airy rooms.
The ground floor accommodation flows nicely and centers around the reception hallway. To the left is the spacious sitting room, which has patio doors into the garden and a wonderful feature fireplace with Nordic wood burning stove. To the right is the kitchen/dining room, which is very well appointed. The room has a selection of wall and base units located around a central, freestanding island unit. The kitchen has space for all appliances with further storage/appliances space located in the adjacent utility room. Patio doors exit the dining area of the kitchen and leads out into the brick built garden room which enjoys lovely views over the private gardens. A refitted cloakroom, study and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation. The stairs rise to the galleried landing, where you will find the three double bedrooms leading off. Two of the double bedrooms have views over the rear gardens, with the third having two velux style windows which allows light to flood into the room. The family bathroom comprises a modern three piece suite with a shower attachment over the bath.
Outside
The house is approached over a brick weave driveway, which provides ample parking for a number of vehicles. To the side is a spacious garage (formerly a double), which has been adapted to a single with workshop to the side. The garage & workshop have power and light, being accessed by either the front up and over door or the side personel doorway. A pathway leads down the side of the house, to the south facing rear garden. The garden is very well stocked with a variety of flowers, shrubs, trees and bedding plants. To the side of the conservatory the vendor has created a neat herb garden. A patio area proceeds immediately outside the sitting room double doors. At the bottom of the garden is extra workspace/studio which measures 11ft7 x 8ft6.
