House For Sale £375,000
Description
A little slice of ‘The Good Life’ with views across fields to Brent Knoll and with easy access to the A38 and M5, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers plenty of scope for home-grown produce and is currently also home to goats, chickens, and ducks.
Lovingly refurbished over the last few years, maintaining the character of the old cottage with beams, exposed brickwork, and stable doors, whilst bringing it up to date with a ‘white and wood’ contemporary palette, this delightful home has been completely transformed into the attractive and practical space it is today. The cosy sitting room retains its beams and feature fireplace which houses a wood burning stove. The dining room is not only a lovely room for entertaining with space for a large table and other furniture but also opens out into a conservatory making the most of the fabulous garden and rural views. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with warm wooden base and wall units, with wooden work surfaces, integrated electric oven and hob, a dishwasher and a double sink. There is ample space for other appliances and extra storage in the adjoining utility room where there is also a useful shower room and WC. The three double bedrooms are upstairs, each with its own individual character, decorated in a neutral palette, and they share a modern family bathroom.
Outside
For its size, the property offers a wealth of outbuildings and potential for anyone wanting to grow their own produce and perhaps keep some livestock. The extensive garage is currently divided off into different sections for storage, workshop and home for the goats. Gated access opens from the road onto a parking area with access to a storage shed and to the landscaped front garden where there is a small pond. The large rear garden has a cultivated vegetable patch including raised beds, fruit trees, a green house and a polytunnel. Poultry houses and runs are cleverly screened off from the garden leaving an expanse of level lawn for other outdoor activities. For anyone with creative tendencies there is an artist’s studio, insulated and with electric, adjacent to the house.
