DESCRIPTION A most attractive detached cottage, presented to a high standard and occupying an elevated position within well-tended gardens. The property enjoys delightful views across neighbouring woodland, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting.
THE PROPERTY A stable door opens into a welcoming kitchen/dining room, forming the heart of the home and providing access to the principal reception room, inner hallway and staircase rising to the first floor. The kitchen is fitted in a traditional style with a range of base and wall-mounted units, complemented by solid timber worktops and a Belfast sink. A characterful open fireplace, finished with handmade tiles and a granite surround, houses a range-style cooker, creating a charming focal point. Beneath the stairs is useful space suitable for storage or a study area.
The inner hallway leads to a ground floor bathroom and a practical utility room, which accommodates the boiler and white goods, and benefits from both a stable door to the front and a further door to the rear.
The sitting room is of generous proportions, enjoying a dual aspect and centred around an impressive fireplace with a wood-burning stove set upon a slate hearth.
On the first floor, the landing gives access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a shower room. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious with a dual aspect, whilst the second bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe. All bedrooms enjoy attractive views over the gardens and neighbouring woodland.
OUTSIDE The gardens are thoughtfully arranged and can be accessed via two separate gates, one positioned to the front of the property and a further entrance to the side, leading to a sheltered courtyard area adjoining the utility room. To the front, a generous patio provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, whilst enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by an attractive raised wild garden offering excellent potential for the installation of a summerhouse or the creation of an additional seating area. A traditional Cornish Wall runs along the front boundary of the garden.
Located conveniently across the road, there is a substantial hardstanding area providing private parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to a double carport and attached shed, both benefitting from power supply. Beyond this, a sizeable gravelled area presents further versatility, suitable for additional parking or alternatively as an extension of the garden, enjoying pleasant views over the river.
