Keepers Cottage is a unique, detached, extended character home situated on a generously proportioned plot with a southerly aspect level rear garden, extending to 86 feet in depth. The property was constructed for the game keeper of the local Estate and has a modern extension to the rear creating adaptable accommodation over two floors. Improvements have been undertaken over the last ten years, including replacement double glazed neo-georgian style windows & french doors, upvc fascias and gas fired central heating with a new boiler six years ago, as well as a hot water tank last year. However the property would benefit from some redecoration and could be reconfigured to create a spacious, contemporary, individual home.
The majority of the accommodation is on the ground floor comprising of a central entrance hall, a double aspect sitting/dining room with french doors out onto the rear garden, the kitchen, a boiler room and two double bedrooms, the second making an ideal study/day room, also with french doors out to the rear garden. On the first floor is the master bedroom which is fitted with an ensuite shower area, a fourth double bedroom and the main bathroom.
Outside there are attractive, well maintained, enclosed gardens, those to the rear being a real feature with a stone terrace adjoining the property overlooking an extensive area of lawn edged with shaped, well stocked flower borders. The stone terrace leads on down the far side to the front garden which is enclosed by a picket fence. To the rear of the plot is a garage in a block which can be accessed via a pedestrian gate in the back boundary fence.
Keepers Cottage is situated in a most convenient location within walking distance of the town centre with its comprehensive facilities and only about one mile from the mainline railway station.
Another advantage is that Keepers Cottage is offered with no onward chain.
