2 bedroom cottage for sale

Originally built in 1829 from Isle of Wight stone and thought to have been extended in the 1980's, this quaint, two bedroom cottage has undergone a total renovation by the current owners, including rewiring and replumbing throughout, an entirely new roof and an attractive and sympathetic cosmetic overhaul internally. Run as a successful holiday let by the current owner, the property provides great investment potential or a superb, well presented home.

On the ground floor are two reception rooms as well as a kitchen / dining room and separate utility area, and high quality ‘Karndean' flooring flows throughout. There's a cosy snug with dual aspect windows, a perfect place to curl up with a book, as well as a comfortable lounge boasting a gorgeous, original fireplace with the perfect modern addition of a wood burning stove. Through to the kitchen / dining room you'll find an impressive, dual fuel range cooker, set into an original chimney and lovely, cream-fitted units with hard-wearing countertops. Conveniently situated directly off the kitchen is the utility area, complete with an attractive and functional double butler sinks plus further cupboard storage and space for appliances. Also on the ground floor is one of two bathrooms that this property has to offer, which is more than average for a home this size.

The first floor boasts two double bedrooms, both tastefully decorated with pretty details, such as exposed brickwork on the chimney breasts and enjoying views over both the front and rear gardens. The main bedroom enjoys an immaculate ensuite with a luxurious, roll top bathtub, a skylight for essential, natural light and a pretty, exposed stone wall.

Outside, the large garden, extended during the current owner's occupation by purchasing additional land has been completely relandscaped. Boasting fruit trees, mature shrubs and plants, as well as a garden shed, a wood store, and multiple water butts which feed the pond.

Additionally, there's a fabulous, Scandinavian style chalet, complete with electricity and water, a kitchenette and large sitting area, with the potential to become an office, additional guest accommodation (subject to pp) or simply a quiet place to enjoy the garden in all weather.

The private driveway at the front of the home has been widened and lengthened by the current owners, and is divided from the mature, enclosed front garden by a gated picket fence.

What the Owner says:
I bought this house ten years ago and we have poured our hearts into making it the stunning period property that stands today. Initially we completely stripped back the entire property and then began rebuilding or replacing everything. Since then, we have continued to maintain, update and add to the home and garden, purchasing additional garden, which provides an orchard and also the large Swedish style wooden chalet.

The location is ideal; away from roads and in a peaceful setting, and yet just a stone's throw away from Freshwater village centre, that has plenty of small, independent shops and a nice mix of cafes, pubs, take aways and restaurants.

Additionally, there's a sports and community centre, a library, post office and GP surgery. There's also a choice of several beaches within walking distance, with the spectacular Freshwater, Colwell and Totland Bays, as well as numerous country walks.

We have loved living here in this house and in this village, but it's time for another family to enjoy what this wonderful home has to offer.
