Property description
As the saying goes, first impressions count & this idyllic detached cottage is sure to impress. Whittaker & Biggs are delighted to have been favoured for the instruction of this aesthetically pleasing cottage which wouldn't look out of place on a Christmas card by virtue of its age & traditional design.
This truly unique home comes to the market as a rare opportunity indeed, for what has to be one of the oldest properties within its village location of Harriseahead, with parts dating back we believe to the early 1800's. The cottage has remained within the current family through 2 generations & has since been sympathetically extended & modernised to create a spacious & practical family home complete with all the charm & character one would expect from a property of this period. Externally a wonderment of cottage gardens surround the property with each defined section enjoying a good degree of privacy, in addition there is ample parking for several vehicles & a detached double garage with electric roller shutter door. A cottage worthy of an internal inspection, that the most discerning of purchasers would aspire to own truly merits the phrase , "Viewing Essential."
THE GROUND FLOOR
The property is entered via a front entrance porch into an impressive family sized lounge perfectly sized for the family market whilst set around a commanding feature open fireplace with exposed brick & timber mantle housing a cast iron multi fuel stove, another welcomed accompaniment to this country cottage.
To the heart of the home there is a traditional dining kitchen complete with bespoke pine units & traditional Belfast sink. There is also an exposed chimney breast with a gas cast iron stove. Serving the kitchen is a separate utility room with bespoke pine storage units & Belfast sink, whilst for convenience there is a separate ground floor cloaks.
THE FIRST FLOOR
To the first floor there is galleried landing providing access to three excellent sized bedrooms each with deep set windows. Other traditional features including exposed stonework & wooded latched doors, provide a subtle nod to the property's age. There is a superb sized refurbished family bathroom, furnished with a traditional style suite including a freestanding bath & separate shower, which due to is current size offers the potential to create an en suite to the master bedroom if required.
EXTERNALLY
The property occupies a well proportioned plot having established gardens to three sides. The front garden is enclosed via a traditional stone walled boundary, in keeping with the semi rural location & cottage exterior. The rear garden is divided into formal gardens including a paved patio, lawned gardens & additional garden area with the potential for a BBQ & entertaining area with provisions for a kitchen garden if desired.
