Property description
This delightful, beautifully presented and surprisingly spacious three bedroom double fronted cottage dates back to the 1700s and in recent years this well-loved home has been sympathetically updated, re-modelled and re-decorated throughout, offering bright and airy living spaces packed full of period detail. The majority of the ground floor accommodation has a modern open plan layout, however the living spaces are clearly defined and include a dining area with painted beamed ceiling, a good sized living area with stone inglenook fireplace and original clome oven, “cottage style” kitchen/breakfast room with feature tri-folding doors opening onto the suntrap courtyard garden, there is also an inner hall and a study/play room with separate cloakroom. The first floor boasts three double bedrooms, en-suite to the master bedroom, a family bathroom and from the landing there is access out onto a large decked balcony. All of the external spaces are at the rear and includes a large gravelled parking area with log store, attractive lower courtyard garden and the decked balcony. Although the property has been extensively modernised, a great deal of care and attention has been taken to retain as much of the property’s original charm and character. For instance, the internal doors are ledged and braced with hand forged iron door furniture, the “cottage style” kitchen is fitted with a Belfast sink and wooden work tops as well as a Rangemaster oven, and several stone walls and fireplaces have been exposed. The property has timber double-glazing and a modern oil-fired central heating system. These renovations have resulted in the creation of a stunning, practical, yet distinctive home that is well worth viewing!
