House For Sale £625,000
This quintessentially pretty cottage is in a prominent position within the village and retains a wealth of period features but has a contemporary feel with a versatile, open plan layout with high specification fittings throughout.
The cottage has a fascinating history with its origins dating back to the 15th century with later additions and at one time, was the village post office and general store. With exposed brickwork and painted timber beams, an impressively sized large sitting room/dining room combines with a marvellous Hacker kitchen to create an open plan arrangement, ideal for both entertaining and relaxing. Filled with light from wide windows with plantation shutters, its open plan configuration is unusual for a cottage of this age and the juxtaposition of a sleek contemporary kitchen, gives it wonderful balance. There is a “waterfall” breakfast bar and an impeccably appointed kitchen incorporating an array of high end integrated appliances that includes a coffee machine and steam oven, sensor opening wall units and sleek white gloss cabinetry.
Stripped wooden doors open onto two ground floor bedrooms, offering flexible family or guest accommodation, and a luxurious family bathroom continues the modern presentation with a freestanding conical basin, slipper bath and walk-in rainfall shower. A principal bedroom sits exclusively on the top floor benefiting from fitted storage and an equally stylish en suite shower room.
Outside
Bordered by a white picket fence, there is a generous front garden leading up to the double-fronted facade of this period cottage giving a wonderful first impression. A private driveway to the side provides convenient off-road parking.
At the rear of the property, a good sized landscaped garden provide an idyllic place to enjoy al fresco dining or relaxing on either a broad brick paved patio or raised decked terrace surrounded by established borders and trees that give ample colour and greenery throughout the seasons.
