A charming and beautifully presented cottage, thoughtfully refurbished to provide a stylish and versatile family home, with a generous rear garden, integrated swim spa and designated parking.
Currently cherished as a family home, this delightful cottage combines period character with a range of contemporary improvements. The property benefits from two entrances, providing flexibility for both formal and everyday access.
The principal entrance is approached via the front garden and opens into an entrance porch, leading directly into the dining room. This welcoming reception space features a bespoke made-to-measure seating area, fireplace, exposed beams and attractive Amtico flooring, which continues seamlessly into the adjoining modern kitchen. The kitchen has been stylishly fitted with Quartz work surfaces, a traditional butler sink and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances.
A second entrance, ideally positioned for day-to-day family life, is accessed from the hallway. The hallway incorporates bespoke understairs storage and provides access to the rear of the ground floor, where there is a versatile study/playroom. This leads through to a bright and spacious family room, with a ground floor cloakroom and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
On the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes with LED sensor lighting and an integrated television. The family bathroom benefits from contemporary fittings and underfloor heating.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a number of distinct areas for relaxation and entertaining. There is a central lawn with established border planting and hedging providing a good degree of privacy. A raised Millboard deck, supported by a steel frame, incorporates an integrated swim spa, creating an impressive space for year-round enjoyment. Beyond this is a tiled dining terrace, ideally suited to al fresco dining, barbecues and relaxed outdoor entertaining, complemented by an attractive water feature.
The garden extends considerably to the rear, where a dedicated parking area provides valuable off-road parking.
