This superb cottage, originally a conversion from an old barn, is beautifully presented, having been refurbished by the current owner in recent years. The light, open-plan living space downstairs offers a warm welcome, with an original beam and additional wood features, enhancing the inherent charm.
The small kitchen, to one side, has all that is required and is attractively fitted in a Shaker style, with an integral oven, hob and microwave, space for other appliances and the sink overlooking the communal courtyard. The sitting/dining room has space for a dining table and chairs, and easy chairs for relaxing. The adjoining shower room is attractively tiled and fitted with a white suite.
A flight of paddle stairs leads to the first floor, gallery double bedroom, with a balustrade overlooking the living room, which could be enclosed, if preferred.
A glazed door from the living room opens out to the pretty, enclosed rear garden, with established flower and shrub beds and no lawn to mow! Within the garden, there is a useful shed with power, in which our clients keep their freezer, and a greenhouse, for salad and vegetable production. To the front of the cottage there is a large, shared courtyard and a short step away, a car park for residents, with ample parking.
