House For Sale £475,000
Formerly two cottages, this well proportioned period property has an infinitely useful 34’ barn / double garage and attractive gardens.
The Property
Formerly two cottages built around the turn of the century, these were incorporated many years ago to create one well proportioned home. Of particular note is the sizable barn to one side which is believed to have historically been a separate property altogether but has been adapted over the years to create a good size double garage / workshop. It now offers a new owner plenty of scope for lots of different uses subject to planning permission, whether you need space for hobbies or annexe potential.
Although on a day to day basis you are most likely to use the back door, the front door of the cottage opens into a small entrance lobby with downstairs cloakroom.
To one side of the entrance lobby is a separate dining room. Beyond is a fitted kitchen with nice outlook over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker style units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and display units, with work surfaces over incorporating stainless steel sink unit. Under the stairs are two handy cupboards for items such as your ironing board etc and one has plumbing for your washing machine. There is space within the units for a gas cooker with stainless steel cooker hood over, and plumbing for a dishwasher although the vendors currently use this space for another under surface appliance.
Beyond the dining room, a door opens into a spacious sitting room with a dual aspect letting light in from the east and west. The sitting room has a brick built fireplace which houses an enamel gas real flame fire. To the rear a door opens into a UPVC double glazed conservatory with triple aspect windows, overlooking the garden. There is power connected to the conservatory and doors onto the patio.
On the first floor a landing houses the airing cupboard with gas wall mounted Vailliant boiler replaced in recent months. There are two large double bedrooms and a smaller double at the rear. The main bedroom has two double fitted wardrobes with louvre doors and a central dressing table area. The smaller double room at the rear also benefits from a deep fitted wardrobe in a corner alcove.
The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite including concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin, and panelled bath with electric Mira shower over.
Outside
To the front of the cottage there are lawned gardens, with central pedestrian gate and pathway leading up to the front door. To one side double timber gates open onto a driveway providing parking and access to the detached barn / double garage which is some 34’4 feet in total length and a maximum width of 16’6. There is power and light connected. There are two up and over doors to the front and a side door opening into the garden. A substantial patio area to the side of the cottage is screened by a stone wall with solid timber gateway leading from the front driveway. Adjoining the cottage wall is an aluminium wall mounted greenhouse. The patio wraps around the rear of the cottage, joining up with the conservatory and rear kitchen door. To one side, the former wash house is now a useful garden store, and steps lead up from the patio to a lawned garden. This is edged with flower and shrub borders. There is a mature tree and a timber garden shed to one side.
Agents Note
