The Property
Apple Tree Cottage is a charming traditional brick and flint semi detached cottage in the middle of the picturesque village of Aylmerton.
The cottage offers well proportioned accommodation throughout with the downstairs comprising a kitchen / dining room, two snugs, sitting room, a music room with a full height ceiling and two downstairs loos. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms; the principal bedroom has an ensuite with a bath and walk in shower and there is also a family bathroom and two rooms in the eaves, which are currently used for clothes storage and a children's playroom.
Outside there is a workshop/garage, parking for two cars and garden laid to lawn at the front with fruit trees and borders and a generously sized paved garden to the side.
The interior of Apple Tree Cottage has plenty of character features such as beams throughout, exposed brickwork, two inglenook fireplaces, wood burning stoves in the sitting room and both snugs and two staircases, one leading from the kitchen and the other leading from the sitting room. The kitchen has direct access to the garden and is cosy, bright and spacious with top and bottom fitted wooden units, integrated dishwasher and wooden worktop. There is also a traditional woodburning cooker within an inglenook fireplace with a magnificent beam over and plenty of room for a large dining table. The kitchen leads through to the snug, with access to the downstairs loo and a door out to the front garden. This snug has a woodburning stove in the corner and leads to a cosy room, which could be used as a study and straight through to the sitting room, with a door leading out to the garden at the side. The sitting room oozes character with the beams, exposed brickwork and an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove. The fabulous music room leads off the sitting room and has a full height ceiling and fireplace. A utility room and loo off the music room lead out to the lovely garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is access from the staircase leading from the kitchen. It is a pretty bedroom, flooded with light and two windows overlooking the side garden and with an ensuite bathroom with loo, hand wash basin, bath and walk in shower. The bedroom leads through to a room, which the current owner uses as clothes storage and through to another room, which is set up as a playroom. The second bedroom is also a double with a staircase leading down to the kitchen. There is a family bathroom with handwash basin, loo and bath.
Outside
Apple Tree Cottage is approached via a gate off the lane, in the heart of Aylmerton village. It is a quiet residential area with a real sense of community amongst the neighbours.
There is a parking area to the side of the house in front of a wooden cladded work shop and garage. This is accessible from the garden and front of the property. The garage is divided into two sections, with room for a car in the back at one level and at the front, a downstairs utility and loo and a staircase up to a mezzanine.
The house has a very pretty good sized garden part laid to lawn with fruit trees and well stocked borders and leads through to the paved area, with further planted borders and trees. The paved part of the garden is directly outside the sitting room, kitchen and music room and is perfect for the warmer months, with plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as outdoor low seating if you wish. It is the perfect cottage garden to relax with a book in the sunshine.
