House For Sale £500,000
“Deceptively spacious” has been an over-used phrase in times past but it truly is the best way to describe this lovely family home, Myrtle Cottage, which offers some 3200 sq ft. Briefly, the accommodation includes two attractively presented reception rooms, a generously spacious breakfast kitchen, separate utility room, side room, four double bedrooms, first floor hobby room, and two bathrooms. There is driveway parking for four cars, a detached extra-large single garage and charming gardens surround. The location is ideal for the local amenities and schools of Hutton and Longton, and commuter routes and transport links to Preston, Southport and Manchester.
The red painted panelled front door, with opaque glass side panels and fan light above, opens to the t-shaped hallway. Partly laid to wooden flooring and partly to carpet, the high ceiling hallway has recessed down-lighting and a radiator. The hall expands into a central area where there is a spindle staircase rising to the first floor an part glazed doors open to the majority of the rooms.
Firstly, bedroom three, currently used as a sitting room, has a window to the front, recessed down-lighting, a television point. A high-level cupboard houses the energy meters and a radiator warms the room.
Bedroom four has a window to the front, recessed down-lighting, laminate flooring and a radiator. There are three double and one single cherry-wood effect fitted wardrobes, a drawer bank with recessed mirror over and high-level cabinets above.
The bathroom has an opaque rear window, recessed down-lighting and a chrome ladder style heated towel rail. Having Travertine tiled walls to dado height and matching flooring, the four-piece white Sanitan suite comprises a one-and-a-half size shower cubicle with rainfall head, a claw-foot roll-top bathtub with central taps, a pedestal wash hand basin and a low flush w.c. A small side room with a rear window, recessed down-lighting and a radiator offers versatile usage.
The adjacent utility room also has a rear window, recessed down-lighting and a radiator. With ceramic tiled flooring for a practical finish, the room has a wood effect counter with an inset stainless steel single drainer sink unit and mixer tap. There is under-counter plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and the wall mounted British Gas central heating boiler is housed here.
The spacious inner hall has a Velux skylight window, recessed down-lighting, a radiator and a cupboard beneath the staircase which rises to the first floor.
A part glazed door, with decoratively etched glass fanlight over, opens to the very spacious breakfast kitchen with stone flagged floor. French windows open to the rear garden, there are three Velux windows to the part-vaulted ceiling, a window to the rear, recessed down-lighting and also a television point. The kitchen is fitted with a range of ivory shaded wall and base units to include shelves, glazed display cabinets, two storage baskets and drawers. There is limestone tiling between levels and to all splash areas and granite effect work surfaces over the cabinets. Set into the worktops and providing the cooking facilities is a Rangemaster six-burner/three-oven range cooker with complementary chimney style extractor fan over and a splash back behind. The kitchen-complementary island unit has a stone effect worktop inset with a white ceramic Belfast sink unit with mixer tap over and having extended breakfast bars to both ends and, close-by, there is also space for a larder-style fridge freezer.
The very spacious dining room has a rear window and French windows to the side garden. Lit by recessed down-lighting, the room is warmed by two radiators, has a television point and double doors give way to the principal lounge.
Along with access from the dining room, the comfortably spacious principal lounge also has a door from the inner hall, two windows to the front and two to the side plus recessed down-lights for evening time. There is a hole-in-the-wall fireplace with granite inset, gas fire and a decorative log store beneath plus two radiators and a television point alongside.
The first-floor galleried landing has recessed down-lighting and a radiator. Due to the roof structure, the rooms at this level do have some height restriction and each overlook the secluded gardens.
Bedroom one has two side windows, a circular rear window, inset spotlights and two radiators. This very spacious room has more than ample space for wardrobes and drawer banks.
Bedroom two is a good-sized double room, has a side window, inset spotlights, radiator and space for bedroom furniture.
The fully tiled bathroom has a Velux window to the side, inset spotlights, an extractor fan and a radiator. The three-piece contemporary white suite comprises a spa bath, wall mounted wash hand basin and close coupled w.c.
The open-plan hobby room has three Velux windows to the rear, recessed down-lighting, eaves storage cupboards and two radiators. There is also a television point and is room would also work well as a home office.
Located down a farm road just off Skip Lane, the homely Myrtle Cottage is set beyond a low retaining wall and hedge boundary, has a pebbled driveway with parking for four cars and, to the side, a detached, extra large single garage with electronically controlled door, personal side door, power and light, and part-boarded for loft storage. Exterior lighting surrounds the secluded gardens and cottage, a steppingstone path leads to the front door and the front lawn is pleasantly surrounded by mature shrubs, specimen trees and flower borders. A pebbled path leads to the side lawn garden having a tall conifer hedge to one side and lower-level privet hedge to the rear, creating total seclusion. The path continues along the rear elevation, has a raised flower and shrub border to one side, and leads to the flagged patio garden on the opposite side of the property. This area, also directly accessed from the kitchen French windows, is laid to Indian flagstones, provides a hard-standing for the greenhouse, an outside tap and a further pebbled area for container planting.
