4 bedroom detached house

General information This attractive 18th century Grade II listed detached cottage offers flexible accommodation with three reception rooms and two separate staircases each leading to two bedrooms apiece.

This much improved cottage has over time gained a number of different access points the main being to the side via a courtyard area or driveway. This double glazed stable door leads you into the tiled floor kitchen, with shaker-style units and beechwood work surfaces, inset butler sink and a four-ring electric Neff hob along with plumbing and space for dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer. This practical country kitchen also provides access into the lounge and a formal dining room. The generously sized dining room benefits from patio doors to the courtyard and a window to the front. At the heart of the cottage is the charming pammet-tiled lounge with inglenook fireplace and wood burner, exposed beams and brickwork, with wall lights and a table lamp circuit. Doors lead to the first floor and side garden. A bright internal hallway with double glazed patio doors to the garden leads to the bathroom as well as a further reception room ideal as a snug or office.

Stairs from the internal hallway lead to a landing providing two built-in storage cupboards with hanging space, a WC with wash hand basin and Velux window as well as two of the bedrooms, which also include table lamp circuits. The ground floor accommodation also includes a bathroom which features a jacuzzi bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin and a wall mounted heated towel rail. The other set of stairs from the lounge takes you to a small landing space which again features a handy storage cupboard and access to the two further bedrooms.
