3 bedroom cottage for sale

A quintessential, limestone and thatched, country cottage offering three-bedrooms, off-road parking, garaging and a one-bedroom annex, sitting on a generous and private plot in the popular village of Seaton.

Ground Floor - This beautiful country cottage offers deceptively spacious accommodation that has been modernised throughout whilst retaining so much of its original character. The cottage is bursting at the seams with period features to include some original floors, exposed stonework, beams to the ceilings, and a wonderful Inglenook fireplace.

The ground floor in brief comprises a dining kitchen, two reception rooms, a study, utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The dining kitchen is situated in the original cottage, a roomy but cosy space with windows to the front and rear. There are a good range of fitted shaker style units with a variety of integrated appliances, space for a Range style cooker and an island with breakfast bar. There is ample space for a dining table and comfy seating around the log burner set into the beautiful original fireplace. Adjacent to the dining kitchen is the formal entrance hall that gives access to the downstairs cloakroom and the sitting room. The sitting room itself has windows to three sides allowing plenty of light and a timber fireplace with a log burner inset.

Beyond the dining kitchen to the rear there are three further vaulted rooms. The first directly off the kitchen, a few steps up lead to a spacious and utility room/back kitchen providing further storage, a secondary sink and oven, space for white goods and a stable door out to the garden. Another step up from here leads to a further reception room that is currently being used as a crafts/work room and then a couple more steps lead to a useful study. The study has a door that provides access into the integral double garage.

One-Bedroom Annex - The property also benefits from a one-bedroom detached annex complete with its own entrance hall, open plan living kitchen, double bedroom, and shower room.

First Floor - The first floor is vaulted with exposed beams throughout creating a wonderful sense of space and is accessed via two separate staircases. A staircase from the formal entrance hall rises into the vaulted master bedroom, a lovely space with a window overlooking the rear garden and views beyond plus, an ensuite shower room.

A further two double bedrooms are accessed via a staircase in the dining kitchen rising to a light and airy landing. Both bedrooms offer space for free-standing storage, windows looking out to the front and are served by the family bathroom. The family bathroom comprises a corner shower, wash hand basin, low flush lavatory and heated towel rail.

Outside - The property has a wonderful outside space with garden and grounds surrounding the property on three sides. There is also vehicular access from the rear of the plot onto a large, gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the double garage. The areas to either side of the driveway are bounded by hedging and laid to lawn with mature borders. A stone wall separates the driveway from the main garden with two access points through five-bar hand gates, one leading to the main house and one to the annex. The main garden, again predominantly laid to lawn with a seating area and gravel path leading around to the side and front garden. To the side of the property is a further garden space, hard-landscaped with soft planting and a path leading round to the front of the property. The front garden is beautifully-landscaped with a pathway leading through a topiary arch to the front door.
