Property description

THE PROPERTY Westonbirt Cottage is a beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended natural stone and stone tiled semi-detached cottage which was completely refurbished some two years ago and is now an extremely attractive and charming cottage with lots of character.



The enclosed front porch leads into a well-proportioned sitting room which has a white painted beamed ceiling, solid oak floor and painted chimney breast around the feature fireplace which houses a recently installed Aarrow log burner. The recently extended kitchen/dining room has a superb range of cream Shaker style units under oak work surfaces and includes integrated appliances consisting of stainless steel oven with gas hob and chimney cooker hood above, dishwasher, automatic washing machine and Smeg fridge/freezer. This room also has an oak block floor, and immediately off the kitchen is a very useful cloakroom/WC and a stable door into a delightful conservatory which enjoys views straight down the 150ft long landscaped rear garden.



At first floor level the two double bedrooms have exposed beams in vaulted ceilings, and fitted wardrobes and the bathroom has a smart white suite including a double ended panelled bath.



The cottage has the benefit of gas fired radiator central heating augmented by solar panels on the back roof, and we are advised that damp proof treatments and new wiring were installed some two years ago. The summerhouse halfway down the garden has power and the capacity to be used as an office and there is ample space at the front to park at least two cars. Another recent development at the property is the granting of planning permission to add a two-storey extension onto the side of the cottage providing a study/office and a third bedroom.
