A beautifully presented semi-detached 4-bedroom Victorian cottage, with two holiday cottages,. All in 0.64-acre

Situated at the heart of this prime and well-regarded village, Dorch House offers a rare opportunity to acquire both a charming principal house and two holiday cottages within the grounds.

The cottage itself is of Victorian origins with red-brick elevations underneath a slate-tiled roofline and has been subject to a considerable modernization programme in past years to include solid oak doors and flooring, oak double-glazed windows, modern bathroom suites and upgraded kitchen – all without detriment to the original character of the property. The result is a comfortable and well-proportioned house. From the glazed vaulted entrance porch, the oak panelled entrance hall sets the scene for the rest of the property highlighting its quality and style, as does the cloakrooms tiled floor and white suite of WC, pedestal basin, to the utility with its wealth of storage and Belfast sink. Two steps up from the hall lead into the oak panelled front sitting room with staircase to the first floor, door through to the kitchen/dining/breakfast area with its tiled floor, built-in larder cupboard and a wide range of purpose-built painted Shaker-style units, including a large central island unit with quartz worktop, as well as a Esse Sovereign Range, and conventional electric oven and hob with hood above, finishing the kitchen area is a bay window with inset Belfast sink with slate worktop and splashback.
Completing the ground floor is a front snug with a working open Victorian-style fire with wooden surround, exposed wooden flooring, and built-in wooden bookshelves.
The oak staircase leads to the central landing and access to the principal bedroom which is semi-vaulted with cornice and ceiling rose, pair of built-in wardrobe cupboards, and an en suite bathroom with vanity basin with storage below, WC, corner bath and towel rail. Bedroom two, also semi-vaulted with a pair of built-in cupboards which reflect the same style as bedroom three, and bedroom four, the smallest of which has a built-in bookshelf, all of which share the family bathroom with a white suite of bath, WC, separate shower cubicle and vanity sink set in an oak top with storage below.
