The luxurious, three-bedroom, two-bathroom (plus WC) home has been extended and upgraded to high standards, featuring exceptional accommodation finished in neutral tones and with quality fixtures and fittings. The property was also completely rewired in 2011. Inside, a hall welcomes you in, leading left into the generously proportioned living room, which is perfect for everyday use. It is elegantly decorated and kept cosy by a multi-fuel stove with a handsome stone surround. From here, steps head up into the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, which has an expansive marble footprint spanning the depth of the home. This stunning multipurpose reception area is characterised by a stone feature wall and a double-height apex ceiling lined with Douglas fir support beams. It also boasts multi-aspect glazing and ambient lighting. The kitchen itself is organised around a central island, appointed with downlit granite worktops and generous cabinetry with solid oak doors. It is equipped with a double sink and integrated appliances (fridge, Tecnik ceramic hob, and two Neff ovens). Furthermore, the kitchen connects to a porch with a WC and to a utility room, with space for additional appliances. Meanwhile, a spacious bedroom (which could also work well as an office) finishes the ground floor. It features built-in storage and a high-spec en-suite shower room that is fully-tiled and laid with a marble floor. The two remaining bedrooms, illuminated by dormer windows, are upstairs. These are served by a large three-piece family bathroom, with engineered wood flooring and an airing cupboard. The property has double-glazed windows, oil-fired central heating, and underfloor heating (in select areas). Fibre optic broadband has recently been installed in the area and will be available shortly. Externally, the cottage has private parking for two cars and well-kept gardens, which include fruit trees and movement sensitive lighting. To the front, there is a large lawn framed by mature trees and a southwest-facing patio that can be directly accessed from the kitchen/family room. There is also a backyard with a woodstore and a shed/workshop (with lighting and power). Extras: all fitted floor coverings, fitted window blinds (including those that allow the window to open even when the blinds are shut), light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
