The property offers a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful Victorian cottage, dating back to the 1860’s that has recently been sympathetically extended together with a project of complete renovation, to create a modern insulated, low maintenance home, featuring high quality fixtures and fittings throughout. As you enter the property the quality speaks for itself and the carefully chosen materials and finishes blend to offer a tranquil home. The open plan living accommodation offers three distinct zones, with sitting area, dining area and a luxury handmade kitchen with quartz worktops, built in appliances and bi-fold doors allowing access to the rear garden. There is also a ground floor cloakroom with W.C.
On the first floor the landing leads to two double bedrooms, one with fitted cupboards and feature cast iron fireplace. There is also a quality family bathroom, with shower over bath.
Outside the property is set back from the road with driveway parking for two to three vehicles and a recently landscaped garden laid to grass, with path to the front door and a secure lockable cycle store. To the rear of the property is an enclosed low maintenance courtyard garden, laid to gravel, with two generous paved terraces and a self contained 121 Sq ft new build fully insulated garden studio/home office complete with Cat 6 cabling and sliding doors, offering versatile extra day room accommodation suitable for a wide variety of uses - home office, gym, games room etc.
