Property description


This early Georgian (c.1720) property has great kerb appeal, with an attractive brick frontage, gothic-style arched windows, and a distinctive gambrel roof. The moment you step inside you realise this is a special place, full of character and stylishly decorated with carefully considered fixtures and fittings, and a colour palette that complements the heritage of the building. With 1,076 square feet of accommodation set over three storeys and a studio room in the garden, it offers plenty of flexible space that’s well-suited to modern lifestyles.

Original ceiling beams run throughout the interior, unifying the space and helping to create the perfect welcoming ambience. The focal point of the front living room is a large, exposed brick inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, complemented by the solid wood floor, doors, and tongue and groove detail on the open staircase that leads up to the first floor. The central dining room has a similar cosy ambience and flows into the kitchen by an open doorway and a casement window.

The kitchen is fitted with country-style solid oak wall and floor cabinets, and a granite worktop, accommodating a range cooker and a ceramic sink, which leaves plenty of space for a freestanding fridge and a kitchen table. A window above the sink provides views of the sunny south-facing garden, and the adjacent door opens onto the paved garden terrace, with a skylight providing the whole space with lovely natural light. The convenient ground floor WC is accessed from a door on the terrace.

There are two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The main front bedroom is a large double. Measuring 14’2” by 13’9” it has plenty of space for a kingsize bed and features two original windows with lovely ornate frames, an original cast-iron fireplace. There’s also large bespoke fitted wall of storage/wardrobes which could house an en suite shower room (some pipework is already fitted). The second bedroom is a serene retreat with an attractive tongue and groove-clad wall. The fully tiled bathroom has good natural light and ventilation thanks to a south-facing window, and is fitted with a bath, electric shower, washbasin, and WC.

The second floor is home to another large double bedroom (14’1” by 13’7”). This has a dramatic high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a dormer window, an original fireplace, and a full height built-in wardrobe.

The well-maintained south-facing rear garden has been landscaped and is low-maintenance, with a paved terrace (ideal for al fresco drinks and dining), a central lawn bordered by gravel paths, painted fences and planting, a brick BBQ, and a brick-built garden studio. Measuring approximately 15ft by 10ft and accessed via both a double doors from the garden and to the rear (an open area with vehicle access) this space is suited to a variety of uses. Currently fitted out as an additional living room, with lots of built-in storage space and tongue & groove detail to match the cottage, it’s insulated (for heat and sound) and has great natural light from a skylight and a garden-facing window.
