Approaching the Wisteria-strewn cottage one passes under an oak frame porch and into the spacious sitting room. Exposed timbers line the ceiling of the L-shaped reception room with a multi-fuel stove providing a charming focal point and French doors lead out to a private patio area. Off the sitting room is the breakfast room which is of generous proportions and is open to the contemporary kitchen which is fitted with French grey units and stone-effect worktops found above. A walk-in pantry is found at the far end of the kitchen with a porcelain one and a half bowl sink found beneath the window which enjoys unspoilt views across open fields. Also found is an integrated double oven, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, large pan drawers and basket drawers. A cream Rayburn is set into an exposed brick fireplace in the breakfast room, which sits across from a free standing island with an inset five ring induction hob and a large fridge freezer is found across from the French doors into the conservatory. This large space enjoys a number of doors opening into the garden as well as a cream multi-fuel stove, making it a functional space all year round and provides a beautiful spot from which to enjoy the gardens. Before climbing the stairs from the rear hall, one finds the family bathroom which is part panelled with tongue and groove board with tiles above and comprises of wc, pedestal sink and bath with shower over. The landing is a bright space which has wonderful views across open countryside and leads to all three bedrooms with a fully tiled shower room with walk-in shower, wc and hand basin, found at the far end. The master bedroom is found next to the shower room and benefits from eaves storage and wonderful views into the gardens from the dual aspect. A further double bedroom sits next to the master and also has lovely views across the front of the property as well as large fitted wardrobes. The final bedroom is a good sized single room and is found at the far end of the landing beside a large eaves cupboard providing ample storage.
Outside
Victory Cottage is found tucked away on a quiet country road, bordering open fields and countryside at the rear and mature hedging of Laurel and Holly runs alongside fencing ensuring excellent privacy. The pretty red-brick cottage is framed with delicate tendrils of Wisteria at the front and a lovely assortment of mature shrubbery wraps around one side of the property and along the front boundary. A lovely variety of planting and trees can be found which include an established apple tree, walnut tree, and pear tree as well as some mature holly trees and a pretty rose arching over the front gate. Much of the garden is laid to lawn with a large patio area wrapping around the conservatory and leading round to the rear of the property and into a secluded seating area. A large ornamental gate gives access onto the road, whilst fencing conceals the oil tank with a painted shed providing ample storage. Large double gates at the front of the property give way to the private driveway which sits to one side of the garden and provides ample parking for several vehicles. The drive leads up to a newly built timber studio which benefits from lighting, power and water, with a butler sink found at the rear of the outbuilding as well as a further storage shed.
