Property description
A stunning property which requires an internal inspection to appreciate the effort that has gone into renovating and creating a living space which is quite unique.The side of the property has been opened up with the addition of a stunning extension featuring large windows to the sides and roof mounted windows with a central feature of a wood burning stove and with the added benefit of underfloor heating making this feel more like a luxury holiday lodge than a traditional cottage and a wonderful setting to pass your days or evenings.The extension has allowed the sellers to open the kitchen and dining room into a space which offers a light and airy setting which is private and secluded yet only a short walk to many amenities including the local train station.Each room has been carefully updated including the kitchen which is built of solid wood throughout and is a testament to the skills and taste of the sellers.A private, gated parking area has also been created and the garden and external areas have been extended through careful planning to make this a delightful proposition.Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Open the double doors in the summer and let the garden in to really enjoy this room at all times of the year.

Bathroom
They always say it\‘s the little touches that make a home and this bathroom has eclipsed this to the full.

A chrome towel rail keeps everything nice and warm in the cooler months.
