£385,000 Freehold
An extended, well proportioned semi detached character cottage believed to have been constructed in 1896 and situated on the south side of the village. The property has been extensively refurbished over the past thirteen years by the present owners commencing with a complete rewire and replastering of the walls & ceilings. A single storey extension was built three years ago to create a contemporary kitchen, bathroom & refitted cloaks/shower room.
The accommodation comprises of three double bedrooms, two with feature fireplaces and particularly wide windows, the master overlooking the rear garden & countryside beyond and the second bedroom to the front with views out over nearby common land. On the ground floor are two separate reception rooms, the sitting room to the front with a wide, deep bay window and the dining room with french doors out to the rear garden. Both rooms have open fireplaces and stripped, herringbone style original wood block flooring. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with oak base & wall mounted units including all integrated & built-in appliances comprising of an oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge & freezer. The worksurfaces, splashbacks & flooring are all in granite. The bathroom & cloaks/shower room are also on the ground floor, both fitted with white suites, the bathroom with a spa bath, over bath shower & a range of base & wall mounted units, and the cloakroom with a corner shower cubicle.
Other benefits include sealed unit double glazing to the rear elevation, some windows with leaded light detail, working chimneys, deep skirtings, original panelled internal doors, the porch & hallway with the original tiled flooring, and electric storage heating.
Outside the gardens are well maintained with a 102 ft southerly aspect rear garden and 70 ft to the front, both mainly laid to lawn with brick paved pathways & a rear terrace. There is a detached garage, a driveway and two timber sheds.
