Property description
Redlane Cottage is a character village cottage, link semi-detached, which is of mostly modern cavity block construction (although is partly a conversion of a previous property) and is set under a multi-pitch slate tiled roof with a small, single storey addition at the rear, currently the dining room area. The cottage has pretty multi-pane windows virtually throughout and the exterior is finished with rendered and colour washed elevations at the front and rear. Although a comparatively modern dwelling, having been converted/built approximately twenty years ago, Redlane Cottage is full of character and offers a well presented semi 'open-plan' Ground Floor with a feature arched door and walk-through leading from the rear of the sitting room area through to the dining room, kitchen and utility room. Upstairs are three pretty double bedrooms and a family bathroom. At the rear of Redlane Cottage is a walled garden which is secluded and sheltered, and is south and west facing so enjoys sun for most of the day. The Garden includes two Patio areas, a very pretty ornamental Pond and water feature, and really is a delightful addition to the cottage.
