Walking Distance To Amenities
A delightful Grade II listed character cottage, two double bedrooms, lovely gardens with direct access to wonderful countryside walks and garage.
41 Newtown is a charming cottage which has been lovingly maintained and sympathetically updated over the years by the current owner. The property has attractive rendered, and tile hung elevations under predominantly tiled roofs and has had the benefit of replacement windows. What sets this property apart from others in the Newtown area is the location, having direct access from the garden out onto beautiful countryside walks.
Internally the accommodation is accessed from a useful porch which opens through to a charming sitting room with views to the front and fireplace (currently not in use) with Portland stone surround and slate hearth. An inner hall gives access to a utility room which provides excellent storage, space for white goods and a drying area. The kitchen enjoys a lovely garden outlook and is well fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers with work tops over, stainless steel 1 1⁄2 bowl sink and drainer, ceramic electric hob and oven with cooker hood over and integral under counter fridge. Stairs from the inner hall rise to the first floor and main bedroom, which has an excellent range of built in wardrobes and front aspect over Newtown. The generous bathroom enjoys far reaching views across local countryside and is fitted with a modern white suite complemented by striking turquoise tiles and has the benefit of both a bath and a separate shower. The second floor bedroom has built in eaves storage and Velux window with lovely views.
