House For Sale £555,000
This beautiful Grade ll Listed weather-boarded building once provided working space for the varied uses of this and the adjacent buildings including a workshop, blacksmiths, coachmaker, builders merchant and an inn. Now all in domestic use, it is an essential part of this historic High Street scene.
The current owner has done a splendid job in re-furbishing this beautiful cottage to provide a wonderful mixture of period features and contemporary luxuries. As you walk through the house, the accommodation flows beautifully and is predominantly an off-set open plan space downstairs, with each room leading straight through to the next. Exposed timbers feature throughout, together with visible brickwork and traditional wood latch doors.
On entering the cottage, a spacious entrance hall could easily double as a study/reading area with the stairs rising to the first floor. The living room is adjacent and features an attractive wood-burning stove. To the rear is an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with a range of stylish wall and base units complemented by wood block work surfaces, a contemporary range style cooker and ample space for a large table and chairs. From here, double doors lead out onto the private, landscaped rear garden. Finally, there is a practical, well-fitted utility room and a cloakroom/w.c on the ground floor.
The first floor provides four generous bedrooms, all enjoying the airy feel of part vaulted ceilings, and the recently fitted family bathroom has a four piece suite. The principal bedroom is accessed via a dressing area. The en-suite facility houses a bespoke ‘Hammam’ steam room.
To the rear of the property is an enclosed, private rear garden that has been recently landscaped for ease of maintenance.
