House For Sale £775,000
Period cottage at the heart of Bisley village.
Description
Situated at the heart of Bisley opposite the popular Bear Inn is this Grade II-listed detached cottage, originally constructed circa 1770 and later enlarged and altered. The limestone cottage is noted for its charming stone placement on the gable end, and internally it features exposed beams, original wooden floors and a character fireplace. The vendor has recently undertaken a total and sympathetic renovation of the home to restore its character charm, with an extension to the kitchen in 2021 and new floors throughout much of the house. The result has created a traditional home now brought back to its former glory, while being modernised for today with a utility room, homeworking space and two contemporary bathrooms. The interiors are tastefully decorated in a country style that suits the age and setting of the home, with the kitchen a particular highlight: it has been fitted with Scumble Goosie cabinetry and sink, a Falcon range cooker and wooden work surfaces.
The accommodation is in total about 1663 sq ft across three floors, with the addition of a mezzanine level accommodating an office space and storage. The lower ground floor features a useful cellar, while the ground floor comprises a reception hall leading to a sitting room, dining room, cloakroom with W.C. , a kitchen leading to a covered outdoor terrace and a utility room and store room. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath, two further double bedrooms and a family shower room.
The garden is located to the front of the house and includes a lawn, a covered patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining in the warmer months and several mature trees including silver birches. A high wall and willow weave fencing provides privacy, and there is a parking space on a gravel driveway.
