House For Sale £300,000
Perched just a shopping bags swing from the High Street, this 2 Bedroom late Georgian/early Victorian Cottage benefits from an upstairs Bathroom rather than a downstairs one, as we normally see with most of these historic cottages. A big selling point.
The property has also been decorated and presented with a clear nod to its period past, the heritage colour palettes of the walls, new solid wood worktops in the kitchen, a new Cast Iron Fire in the Dining Room, wood effect flooring, 'ledge and brace' internal doors and traditional taps and showerhead in the Bathroom, all very much in-keeping.
There is full Gas Central Heating via Radiators and the replacement double glazed Sash windows to the front have preserved and enhanced the buildings appearance, keeping within the character of the conservation area.
Its present accommodation comprises a Sitting Room/Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, 1st Floor Landing, the two bedrooms and the good size 1st floor Bathroom. In addition, the Attic is a surprisingly good size too.
The Garden is approaching 70ft long and boasts a Garden Studio building at the end - perfect for a Home Bar or Office, and the attached 'Outhouse' still retains the soil stack, and thus so offers the option of being reinstated as a 'Gardeners Loo'
During the day, the packed historic High Street, literally around the corner, has many well-known high street names mixed with smaller privately owned boutiques and a central Waitrose, providing more than the daily essentials and the numerous intermingled restaurants, bars and pubs give the high street a real buzz of an evening, particularly Friday and Saturday nights.
City Commuters will also be attracted as the Mainline Station is just a quick 11 minute/half mile stroll, the trains whizzing you to London Liverpool Street in just 35 minutes.
The Accommodation
UPVC double glazed front door through to:
LIVING ROOM 12ft 10' x 10ft 10' (3.9m x 3.3m)
Plantation shutters have been fitted to the front facing double glazed Sash window and the Chimney Breast is still in situ, thus an open Fire could potentially be reinstated.
Attractive wood flooring extends on into the Dining Room and Kitchen.
DINING ROOM 11ft 2' x 8ft 4' (3.4m x 2.5m)
There's plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs and we liked the Cast Iron Fireplace in the corner - we're not 100% sure but the chimney breast seems to continue upstairs and join the main one in the Loft, so it is possible this could also be reinstated as a working Fireplace.
Another ledge and brace door opens to reveal a notably large under stairs cupboard.
KITCHEN 9ft 7' x 5ft 6' (2.9m x 1.7m)
Fitted with a modern range of 'White Gloss' units topped with new solid wood worktops.
There's spaces for all the usual appliances and plenty of light comes through the two rear facing windows and half glazed 'back' door that goes out to the Garden.
Staircase from Dining Room to:
1st FLOOR LANDING
Doors off to:
MASTER BEDROOM 13ft x 11ft 1' (4m x 3.4m)
A really good sized double bedroom and like the Sitting Room directly below, elegant plantation shutters have been fitted to the front facing double glazed Sash window.
Either side of the chimney breast are bespoke fitted wardrobes with pinewood fronted doors.
BEDROOM TWO 8ft 10' x 8ft 1' (2.7m x 2.5m)
This rear facing bedroom will take a double bed at a squeeze and also houses the Loft Hatch, which flips down to reveal the surprisingly spacious loft.
LOFT
Peering up into the roof space we were quite surprised by the storage area up here. It would be quite easy to add a sturdy loft ladder and make more of this really useful area.
BATHROOM 10ft x 5ft 8' (3m x 1.7m)
The white suite continues the period theme, the heritage style pedestal basin with period style taps and the Bath with a period style fixed shower head.
A large window provides lots of natural daylight, reflecting off the white walls and wall tiles to make the room feel even brighter and there's also a chrome towel radiator and a built-in cupboard housing the Ideal 'Independent Combi 24' Combination Boiler.
GARDEN
The initial Patio runs onto a very neat lawn, itself rolling along to the end of the garden where there is a fairly new SUMMERHOUSE/CABIN 9ft 10' x 7ft 7' (3m x 2.3m), with a decked veranda - perfect for alfresco entertaining or of course as a Home Bar or Office.
The old attached brick OUTHOUSE still retains its original ledge and braced door and the soil stack is still in situ (now used by the upstairs Bathroom) so there is the potential for this useful store to be reinstated as an outside WC (good for Summer bashes!). It has a rear facing window, light and power socket.
