Open House Event Saturday 21st February. Contact agent for details.

You cannot just conjur up or create character and history. But the good news is you can buy it. This charming, detached, double fronted period cottage is one that should be on your shopping list.

Set back and secluded off the road, as you walk up the driveway, this much loved home makes you want to open its doors and see what’s inside. It holds decades of memories for the families who have lived here in the past, including the current owners for whom it is now time to move on and pass it on to the next owners to adapt the house to their own style and create their own memories.

The layout of the house is more typical of a larger home as it is double fronted which gives the home some handsome features from the outside but also means there are two separate living rooms in addition to the kitchen diner to the rear.

Both of the reception rooms create a feeling of light and space thanks to the bay windows, fitted with doubled glazed sash windows. The character and history of the property is reflected in the feature fireplaces in both rooms, one of which is a log burner. The room to the left is set out as the lounge area with the one to the right as a formal dining room and study with fitted bookcases. The new owner has complete flexibility as to how they wish to use these spaces whether it be a combination or formal and more relaxed or even a living area more for adults and one for the children and their friends.

Across the full rear of the house, a fitted kitchen provides ample storage and cooking preparation areas as well as a fitted oven hob and extractor and freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There is plenty of space for a dining table if the formal dining room was not or otherwise a smaller table is a perfect spot for breakfast. The patio doors from the dining area lead out to a private, cosy patio area to enjoy a morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen also benefits from a larder cupboard, a downstairs cloakroom and access to the garden from the other side of the house. Doors also lead into both living rooms which gives the house such a lovely flow, making it ideal for when entertaining or when the family are over.

Upstairs there are two good sized double bedrooms facing to the front of the house and the large sash windows have fitted wooden shutters. Once again, the original fitted fireplaces remain to remind you of the home’s history. There is a further bedroom which can take a double bed or be used as a single with a study area as well. After a long day of work or when you just need to relax, the roll top bath in the main family bathroom is an added delight for the new owners of the house.

The rear garden is private and provides a mix of patio space, lawn area, flower and shrub borders including apple and plum trees as well as a feature pergola so you can sit out in the shade. The front driveway allows parking for up to three cars and to the side of the house there is potential to create a garage and downstairs bathroom or utility room, subject to the necessary planning consents. With the benefit of the mature planting, the house is well screened form the road enabling the house to remain private and secluded.
