Property description
This delightful three bedroom stone cottage is situated in the sought after village of Rushton Spencer and dates back to the 1840's. The property was originally the smithy, but was later used as the local post office for the village. Today the property is a characterful family home with plenty of charm, with exposed wooden beams and stone work. The property has an entrance porch which leads into the dining room, which has a feature multi fuel fire. The living room is of good proportions and the kitchen/dining area is fully fitted with a belfast sink unit and has ample space for a dining table for four. The utility room is a functional space with plumbing for a washing machine. To the first floor is a landing area, three well proportioned bedrooms and fitted white bathroom suite which incorporates a roll top bath and quality fittings throughout. Externally the property has an array of grounds, with an enclosed forecourt to the front, providing access to the garden area and workshop. The workshop has power and light and could be utilized in a variety of ways and also has a useful storage facility above. The garden area is fully enclosed and has a high degree of privacy, having mature hedges around and is mainly laid to lawn. Off road parking for two vehicles is provided via a driveway and access to the property can be made via a gated access through the garden. The property is warmed by an oil fired combination boiler.
