Occupying a corner plot is this recently refurbished characterful cottage which has been sympathetically and tastefully modernised by the current owners to offer a modern living space with authentic charm still a key feature.

Setting the scene

Occupying a corner plot where Broadmoor Road meets Mill Lane, with low level fencing leading towards taller fencing creating privacy for the garden with a large timber built shed towards the front of the home currently housing the electric boiler and lawn strip to the left hand side of the home. A five bar timber gate allows access to the home either at the front or to the side.
The grand tour

Entering via the front door, you are first met with the newly fitted kitchen/dining area with all wooden effect flooring, leading you through to a wide range of base mounted storage units, with solid oak work surfaces sitting above them giving way to freestanding appliances including the oven and hob with extraction above. An exposed red brick fireplace sits towards the centre of the room, a key feature in this rustic setting, with a wood burning stove creating a warm and cosy atmosphere, whilst a utility room sits just off to the side of this space with further base mounted storage units and room for appliances, such as a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and American style fridge freezer. Through from here, the sitting room opens up again occupying a generous space measuring a little over 17’, where carpeted flooring allows for a choice of soft furnishings and another red brick fireplace currently houses a second wood burning stove. A solid wooden staircase leads you towards the first floor accommodation and wall mounted radiators adorn the walls, as well as a uPVC double glazed door which will take you into the garden courtyard. More authentic wooden style doors take you into a brand new, fully modernized bathroom suite complete with a unique and attractive finish, comprising fully tiled surroundings and vanity storage. A raised shower tray leads you directly into the bath with rainfall shower head above, with a decorative style rarely seen making this space a rear feature of the home.

The first floor landing has partly sloped ceilings and exposed wooden beams, leaving ample room for a potential home office or study setup with handy storage cupboard built over the stairs, Velux window and radiator mounted below. The smaller of the two bedrooms sits to your right with all built in wardrobes to your left and ample floor space for a double bed with Velux window and wall mounted radiator. The larger of the bedrooms comes towards the end of the hallway measuring some 15ft in length, again fitted with bespoke built in wardrobes with all carpeted flooring and exposed wooden beams adding to the authentic cottage feel.
