property and accommodation

A nicely located semi-detached cottage, near the village centre and extended and almost doubled in size in 2006 thanks to the two storey rear extension. This now offers a most comfortable three bedroom cottage, with a stunning kitchen/diner. Utility room and WC and an en-suite shower room.

So not only do you have character and charm, you also have the modern creature comforts.

With some exposed character stonework, generously proportioned rooms, pretty cottage gardens, driveway parking for two cars and for sale with no chain this property must be viewed early to avoid potential disappointment.

From the driveway is a path leading to a gravelled pathway, a front garden (leading to the original front door) with the path continuing to the main entrance and the rear garden. You have two low level gates, one through to the path and another providing some pet security to the rear garden.

A covered storm porch leads in to the central hall with a natural slate tiled floor, a returning staircase to the 1st floor and an understairs storage cupboard.

The good sized living room, which is to the front of the property includes a cast iron wood-burner set on a slate hearth with a wooden mantle over. A very cosy yet spacious separate living space and would be a lovely place to retire in the winter evenings.

Now to the heart of the home, the fantastic kitchen/diner. An amazing space to socialise and catch up with the family after a busy day. More than enough space for a large dining table with room left over for further seating. If you like having friends over for get-togethers this room lends itself perfectly for that. Whether that's during the day or the evening then open up the sliding patio doors to the garden so guests can mingle as they please.

The kitchen has matching natural slate tiled flooring from the hall, sliding patio door to garden with two stylish adjoining corner windows, designed to allow as much natural light in as possible. But with three sets of ceiling downlighters there is plenty of light available.

A door from the kitchen area leads to a utility room/WC which is fitted with a worktop and inset stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for washing machine, wall mounted Worcester (lpg) combination boiler and a white low level WC.

Upstairs there is an 'L' shaped landing leading to three bedrooms, airing cupboard (fitted with a radiator) and main bathroom.

The main bedroom is equipped with a modern en-suite shower room with a white three piece suite of low level WC, vanity wash hand basin with cupboards under and mirror, light and shaver point over.
