This stone-built period cottage is set in extensive, woodland gardens of some half an acre in the heart of the conservation area and within the picturesque village of Newburgh. The accommodation briefly comprises a spacious hall, two reception rooms, breakfast kitchen with separate utility room and pantry, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The paved driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to the integral double garage and the location is ideal for easy access to commuter transport routes and networks.
Sheltered by a timber porch, the oak panelled door opens to the spacious hallway which is lit by wall lights and a recessed down-light and is warmed by a radiator. The hall has windows to the front and to the utility room, an oak spindle staircase rising to the first floor and oak doors to each of the rooms off.
The wood-block flooring from the hall continues into the dining room which has a double-glazed window to the front and a pendant light above the table space. A tall Victorian style mahogany fire surround with tiled inset and hearth offers space for an electric fire and a radiator also warms the room.
The spacious lounge features exposed ceiling beams, has a window to the front and a floor-to-ceiling bay window incorporating a door to the rear garden. The room is lit by wall lights and to one wall is an extended, composite stone plinth which creates the perfect base for an electric fire.
The breakfast kitchen has a double-glazed window to the rear and two ceiling lights for evening time. The room is fitted with a range of cream painted wall and base units with Formica worktops inset with a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap over. The vinyl floor covering gives a practical finish and there is plumbing for an automatic dishwasher, space for a fridge and a point for an electric cooker.
The adjacent utility room has a window and door to the rear, two skylights plus a ceiling light highlighting the exposed stone wall. There is space for a chest freezer and plumbing for an automatic washing machine, and a door off to the pantry which is fitted with a range of wall shelves, has strip lighting and a door to the garage.
The ceramic tiled flooring continues from the utility room into the adjoining shower room which has an opaque rear window and recessed down-lights. The room is wall panelled to dado height and tiled to all splash areas of the suite which comprises a shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and w.c.
The first-floor galleried landing has windows to the side and rear, a walk-in linen cupboard and a built-in cabin bed with cabinets beneath. Panelled doors open to the three double bedrooms and the bathroom.
Bedroom one has a double-glazed window to the front, two pendant lights and a radiator. There are two double wardrobes with cupboards above and the room also benefits from a vanity set wash hand basin. Bedroom two has a window to the front, a pendant light, skirting-board level convector heater, exposed ceiling beam and fitted double wardrobe with a cupboard over. Bedroom three has windows to the front and side, a pendant light, radiator and two double fitted wardrobes with cupboards over.
The bathroom has a window to the rear, a ceiling light, and is timber panelled to dado height. The white suite comprises an Art Deco style enamel bath with wall mounted taps and wall inset soap dish over, a pedestal wash hand basin and low flush w.c., and a radiator warms the towels.
The property is approached via a paved driveway which provides parking for several cars and leads to a large integral double garage with timber folding doors, a workshop area, power and light. To the front of the clematis laden, stone-built cottage is a border of mature trees and shrubs and, close to the front door, is a cobble-sett edged rockery planted with spring bulbs and alpine flowers.
A picket gate opens to the rear garden and a stone paved path leads to a raised sun terrace which stretches across the rear elevation and has side paths meandering between rhododendron bushes to a woodland dell littered with mature trees and overlooks the extensive lawn dotted with specimen varieties of trees and shrubs. A further stone path trails beneath the prominent weeping willow to a gardener’s hut and on to a lower lawn having herbaceous borders offering year-round colour and a once much-loved children’s playhouse set amongst a carpet of bluebells. This beautiful, peaceful garden overlooks adjoining farmland has views towards the canal and Parbold Hill and is a haven for wild birds, woodland animals and children alike.
