Stepping through the solid wood and part glazed front door, the entrance hall boasts stripped wooden floorboards and a decorative balustrade which leads to the first-floor gallery landing.
The living room spans the depth of the cottage and boasts dual aspect windows and French doors which lead you to the rear garden. An attractive fireplace with stone surround, slate hearth and inset Chesneys multifuel wood burning stove, creates the perfect focal point to enjoy on a winters evening.
The dining room to the right of the entrance hall is dressed to impress. Dual aspect picture windows overlooking the gardens and stripped timber floorboards create a stunning environment to entertain. An open cast iron fireplace with decorative timber surround is displayed upon the stunning olive-green wall.
The kitchen can be found to the rear of the home and comprises a range of traditional soft chalk white cabinets with chrome cup handles, wrapping around the kitchen to provide ample storage. There is generous preparation space on the solid woodwork tops. Integrated appliances to include a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, electric oven with warming tray and ceramic hob have been cleverly incorporated into the room.
