House For Sale £625,000
Dickinson Bowden is delighted to offer this interesting and quirky character cottage which offers flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. We understand that the cottage was originally occupied in connection with the old village forge opposite, and dates back to around 1830.
A small porch greets you as you enter the property which leads to the lobby. Doors open to both the living and dining room and stairs provide access to the first floor (one of two staircases). The sitting room has a feature wood burning stove and the dining room has an attractive range style cooker (not used), an opening from the dining room leads to the well equipped fitted kitchen. Beyond the kitchen there is a rear lobby with coat cupboard and access to the garden, cloakroom/utility. At the far end of the house there is an impressive family room which we understand previously was used as an annex. The current owners removed the second kitchen which once occupied part of this space and this superb room is perfect for large family gatherings and features a wood burning stove and a spiral staircase which leads to the first floor.
Entering one of the first floor landings via the spiral staircase there is access to bedrooms one and two, along with the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a large double room and bedroom two is also is a comfortable double room which offers built in wardrobes. The bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite and enjoys a lovely view over the rear garden. Beyond bedroom one there is a dressing room which currently serves as a study, this has fitted cupboards and a window which overlooks the garden. A door opens to the second landing. There is a modern shower room, a good size double aspect double bedroom and a generous single room/small double with walk in wardrobe.
Outside the garden offers variety and provides the perfect oasis to 'get away from it all'. With a good selection of well established shrubs and bushes and a large expanse of lawn this garden has it all, there is even a stream at the end of the garden along with a tree house. There is a secluded patio whilst to the front of the property double gates offer access to the driveway where the house is neatly tucked away from the road. There are further areas of lawn and mature hedges.
