The Property

The cottage surprises with a stunning Sitting Room filled with strong architectural features and an expansive Kitchen, whilst retaining the potential for new owners to put their stamp on the fabric of the property even to extend up over the existing footprint.

This pretty property basks in tranquillity surrounded by open farmland, criss-crossed by footpaths that invite the exploration of the nearby woods and glorious river vistas down to Hoarwithy, along with its local pubs and excellent food.

The front door leads into an Entry hall with useful built-in shelves and coat hanging, off to one side lies the Utility with WC.

A glazed door leads onwards into the large, modern Kitchen, a bright, square room with picture window. It is fully-fitted with cream painted units, smartly contrasted by red and cream bistro tiles and there is ample room for table and chairs.

The Kitchen flows on into the Dining room, with both rooms harmonised by the beautiful aged parquet flooring. Across from the Dining room which for the demands of modern living would also serve dual function as a Home Office, lies the Sitting Room.

This large room stretches the length of the south facing house front and is flooded with light from its 3 windows, all finished with wide, wooden cills. Solid Oak flooring leads across the room to a full wall feature fireplace, where a multi-fuel Log Burner sits upon a wide, stone hearth. The hearth echoes the exposed stone wall adjacent, with its original timber beams, and a quirky alcove that delight and give a timeless quality to this family room.

The hallway continues to an external side door and also holds a useful under-stairs cupboard. The Family Bathroom has a classic white suite completed with both bath and separate shower cubicle and a large chrome heated towel rail.

Upstairs leading off a central landing lie 4 Double bedrooms which all share stripped wooden doors that match the bannister and rural views from the windows.


Outside

To the front of the property lies a wide, flat, south-facing, expanse of lawn with mixed shrub, boundary borders that would prove equally amenable to football matches or more sedate flower and vegetable beds. The attached garage offers secure storage and further storage for logs and bins is provided by the adjoining wooden lathe store. A paved patio with its red brick barbecue offers an opportunity for outdoor dining while enjoying those country views. Beyond the wooden fence that encloses the garden lies a brick paver 3 car parking area.
