Living Room
The east facing living room is consequently bright and overlooks the back garden.

The ceiling has been stripped, replaced and replastered as part of the recent works undertaken by the owners. -
Kitchen
The kitchen adjoins the living room and features white cabinets with wood trim, countertops with tiled splash backs and slot-in appliances. There is a door leading to the weather protected patio and back garden. The kitchen ceiling has also been stripped, replaced and replastered. -
Two Bedrooms
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The larger principal bedroom sits to the front of the cottage and benefits from an attractive feature bay window. The second bedroom is currently used as a dining room and is positioned to the rear. Both bedrooms offer ample space for all required freestanding furniture. The principal bedroom ceiling has been stripped, replaced and replastered as part of the recent improvements. -
Bathroom
The partially tiled bathroom has a three-piece suite. -
Outside
To the front, the garden has a low boundary wall surmounted by a wrought iron fence, in keeping with the style and age of the cottage. Inside the wall is a box hedge together with a mixture of planted and potted shrubs and plants. The rear garden features a flagged patio benefiting from weather protection, with the largest part of the garden laid to lawn. -
Recent Works and Improvements
The owners have undertaken a programme of works following the Home Report, addressing a number of matters identified within the survey, including the structural matters highlighted by the inspecting professionals. Associated internal repairs have also been carried out, with the ceilings in the bedroom, living room and kitchen stripped, replaced and replastered. The rear flat roof has recently been refurbished, and roof and chimney works have also been undertaken. These improvements provide a prospective purchaser with the benefit of a property where a number of the matters highlighted in the original Home Report have already been addressed.
