Royal Oak Cottage is an attractive two-storey house that offers plenty of space including a large living/dining area, office and three good sized bedrooms spread generously across the different floors.

The front provides instant kerb appeal thanks to its modern build and its inviting entrance takes you into a home that has plenty to offer in terms of style and panache.

The entrance leads into a large living/dining room which has a glorious feature fireplace and a homely but contemporary feel.

This leads through into the well-designed and modern kitchen with spacious worktops, wooden front units, and integrated appliances – plus a fabulous double oven and hob. There is definitely plenty of room for family and friends and various catering occasions.

There is also access through double doors to a secluded outdoor area - perfect for lazy summer days or entertaining. The brick paving and high walls, with mature planting, ensure privacy and allow for areas of raised bedding – to appeal to gardeners.

The next floor offers two good sized bedrooms – one with ensuite shower and with plenty of storage space.

It also offers Jack and Jill sinks and a highly modern bath with shower over.

A delightful attic room occupies the second storey which is full of light and interest. Again, there is plenty of storage and cupboard space.
