Description
The entrance hall with stairs to the first floor leads into a generous sized sitting room to the right with a large open fire and attractive marble surround and mantelpiece. To the left of the hall is the dining room, again with a large open fire place with wood burning stove. Through the dining room is a south facing garden room, with double doors leading to the garden.
At the rear of the house is a back hall, off which is a light kitchen boasting an array of bespoke handmade kitchen units under an oak work top. Across from the kitchen is a downstairs shower room and study - which could be combined to provide a 4th bedroom with en-suite - and to the rear of the house is a small pantry and a large laundry/utility room.
Upstairs are 3 generous sized bedrooms, two of which have feature fireplaces within them. Completing the first floor is a family bathroom.
The Cottage is accessed through a vehicular and pedestrian gate with driveway which wraps around the side of the house. The front garden is well stocked with mature plants and shrubs.
At the rear is an extensive carport providing parking for cars or storage, which leads to a workshop and separate store, all of which have the potential to be converted into annex accomodation/a home office. A paved courtyard links the rear of the house to the carport/workshop and store.
