House For Sale £700,000
A beautifully presented cottage in an idyllic village.
Description
A detached, attractive, charming stone and red brick cottage that occupies an enviable position within the heart of village of Whittlebury.
Originally dating back to early 19th century, 'Bartholomew House'(as known to the current vendors) has been sympathetically extended over the years, creating a wonderful family home.
Retaining a wealth of period features throughout including wood burning stove, original exposed beams and characterful windows, this home has incorporated modern, flexible living within a period property.
Attention is brought to the impressive kitchen with vaulted ceiling and fittings of an AEG oven, AEG grill and microwave, warming draw and electric hob, inbuilt appliances and breakfast bar/ island. The sitting room has a wonderfully warm feel, creating a natural hub for cosy living, with a lovely sense of space and light, and next to it a snug, perfect for relaxed extra space. The dining room offers a spacious entertaining area with double aspect and double doors leading out to the garden patio.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and sizeable inbuilt wardrobes. There are two further double bedrooms, both of which are of generous size with inbuilt wardrobes, and an impressive modern family bathroom with separate bath and shower.
Externally, the property is accessed via a wooden gated, gravelled driveway. Not only does it have parking for numerous cars, there is also a generous garage with plenty of storage, and even a separate utility/ workshop area to the rear with space for washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also an outbuilding which is currently being used as an office and a gym. It has fantastic potential to be turned into secondary accommodation. (Subject to appropriate planning permissions.) The garden is completely enclosed by a walled garden allowing complete peace and privacy. It is mostly laid to lawn with a range of flourishing flowerbeds, trees, shrubs and hedges. There is also a patio area to be enjoyed, a great space for entertaining or alfresco dining with delightful south facing sun.
