DESCRIPTION A charming characterful five bedroom semi-detached cottage, set in a quiet hamlet.
Upon entering the property you are greeted by a light and open porch with solid oak flooring that leads to the kitchen/breakfast room. The Kitchen enjoys hand-crafted solid oak units with natural granite work surfaces, benefiting from a dark blue oil-fired AGA. The Dining room has its own feature fireplace with an open fire and exposed stone chimney breast, the room is light and is of a good size with double doors that lead to the south-facing garden/sun room that was built in 2011 and has the advantage of remote control blinds. A small shower-room with handbasin and WC is accessible from the hall. The main family sitting room stretching to just under 30ft long also enjoys in own feature fireplace with exposed stone, elm beam and 'Jet Master' fire. This room also has views over the open fields, and double doors leading to the garden/sun room. To the rear of the sitting room is a large, recently converted wet room with shower, handbasin and WC, electric underfloor heating, and a double-glazed door to a secluded part of the rear garden, which could prove a most useful asset for muddy children, rugby kit, dogs, etc. All Doors and Windows were replaced in 2010 and the property has undergone major refurbishment by the current vendors.
To the first floor there are five bedrooms, three of which are doubles. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The two further bedrooms are sizeable single rooms with the potential of using one as a study/work space. All having amazing countryside views. The main family shower room, re-tiled and re-equipped within the past few months, is located just off the landing and comprises a shower, WC and basin. The landing also has access to a walk-in airing cupboard. A hatch with loft ladder gives access to a very large loft area, mostly boarded and with its own lighting and power.
There are many benefits to this property, including quiet location, versatile living accommodation, hidden storage and potential for a further floor with up to three attic rooms, subject to planning approval.
OUTSIDE To the rear of the property, accessible via the kitchen or Garden/Sun room is a patio area with a few steps leading to the south facing garden that backs onto open countryside. The Garden is secluded, quiet and established, having mature trees, shrubs and flower beds. There is a parking space and further parking available on the lane.
