The room is elegantly presented with pared-back neutral décor, enhanced by classic cornicing and a fitted carpet for optimum comfort underfoot. A warming wood-burning stove is nestled under a wood mantel and flanked by a recess with fitted shelving, creating a focal point around which lounge furniture can be arranged. There is also space for a small dining area, if desired. The kitchen is accessed from here and is appointed with attractive wall and base cabinets, wood worktops, a Belfast sink, and metro-tiled splashbacks, whilst a beautiful navy Rangemaster cooker is neatly housed within the cabinets. Provision is also made for freestanding and undercounter appliances. There is a versatile room openly connected to the kitchen that can be utilised in a number of ways by the new owner, with access to a recently installed shower room (with a shower enclosure, a basin set into storage, and a WC) and a door out to the rear of the property.

The cottage has three well-proportioned and light-filled double bedrooms, with one on the ground floor and two on the upper floor. The ground-floor bedroom is currently being utilised as a dining room, highlighting its versatility, and enjoys the same sunny aspect as the living room, as well as a beautiful fireplace. The first-floor bedrooms are tastefully decorated, carpeted, and fronted by south-facing dormer windows, and one has a built-in wardrobe. A bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a roll-top, claw foot bathtub, a corner shower enclosure, and a traditionally styled WC-suite and the added comfort of underfloor heating. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system and benefits from double-glazed windows.

The property's heating system also benefits from a smart thermostat, allowing remote control via your mobile phone when you're away from home.

Externally, the partially walled front garden features lawns, patio areas for outdoor dining furniture, leafy shrubs, a shed and a log store. There is also a bike shed and a private driveway for off-street parking, accommodating two cars.

Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and Rangemaster cooker will be included in the sale. Whilst the furniture (sofa, king-size bed, double bed, dining table with chairs) is available by separate negotiation.

The sale of this property is not subject to an onward chain.
