1 Walnut Tree Cottage
1 Walnut Tree Cottage is an old farm workers semi-detached cottage (attached back to back with neighbouring property) that has been extended and stylishly updated by the current owners to create a vibrant family home keeping some of the original character( ie shutters on outside painted to the colour of a ripe walnut).
On the ground floor there is a spacious entrance hallway which is open into the boot room/ utility room. This is an extremely handy room for storing coats and shoes and has been fitted with a range of painted units with worksurfaces over and butler sink unit. The modern family bathroom is opposite here with bath and shower attachment, w/c and wash basin. The kitchen is fitted with solid wood doors from the original kitchen which have been hand painted and fitted to modern base units. There are worksurfaces over, a sink unit, electric oven and space for an American style fridge freezer. The kitchen space is open plan into the dining/family room which is a generous size and with stairs to the first floor. There are double doors from here into the new family/sitting room extension which is a fabulous extra space benefitting from underfloor heating, wood burning stove, roof light and bi-folding doors onto the garden. Upstairs there are 2 double with fitted cupboards and a single bedroom (ideal children’s bedroom). There is also a separate cloakroom with w/c, wash basin and airing cupboard. Some of the bedroom windows enjoy some superb countryside views.
