This postcard-pretty, white rendered cottage with red clay pan tiled roof has an old-rose painted timber door which opens into the beautifully presented accommodation which has been recently extended and refurbished to provide a charming home.
Starting from the porch with tiled floor, a recessed downlight and a space to hang your coat and kick off your shoes. A stripped pine four-panelled door opens into the comfortably spacious lounge with an age-authentic three panel window to the front, recessed downlighting set between the exposed painted rafters and two wall lights for evening ambience. The charming ingle fireplace with stone flagstone hearth and timber mantle surrounds a log burning stove whilst a traditional style radiator supplements the warmth. The oak wood-block flooring finishes the room perfectly, there is an under-stairs storage cupboard and a further stripped pine door opens to the inner hall.
A lantern roof and a line of recessed downlights illuminate the inner hall which has a part glazed door to the staircase and doors to the bathroom and utility room. Travertine tiled underfloor heating runs through from here into the dining kitchen which is also lit by recessed downlights, two wall lights, a further lantern roof and French windows to the rear. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of deep-blue painted cabinets and drawers with brushed brass cup handles and latches. The white marble work-surfaces incorporate an inset white porcelain sink unit with brass tap and etched side drainer. A coordinating island unit is painted in a pale grey shade with oak wood-block work-top and provides drawers, shelves and a breakfast bar. There is an integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer and an inset range cooker with extractor fan over. Beyond the units, there is more than ample space for a dining table and chairs.
The utility room has an oak work surface with under-counter space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Painted wall cabinets above provide storage and a home for the Worcester gas central heating boiler
Also lit by recessed downlighting, the bathroom has timber panelled walls to dado height painted in a muted shade of grey forming the backdrop to the white suite of vanity wash hand basin with wall mounted taps, a low flush w.c. and a roll-top claw-foot enamel bath with telephone style hand shower and tap over.
The staircase rises and turns to the first floor, has a skylight window above, a pendant light and a loft access point with drop-down ladder. The two double bedrooms off and both are warmed by traditional style radiators.
The master bedroom has a four-panel window which overlooks the rear garden and the stunning aspect over farmland. Lit by recessed downlights set into the part-vaulted ceiling, the good-sized room has ample space for wardrobes and drawer-banks.
The second bedroom has a three-panel window to the front, recessed downlights to the beamed and part-vaulted ceiling, and three wall lights. A good-sized double room, there are telephone and television points and ample space for bedroom furniture.
Positioned between the two bedrooms, the shower room has a tiled floor, wall panelled wet-room style shower cubicle with black framed glass screen, a wall mounted wash hand basin with a mono-block tap and a close coupled w.c. There are recessed downlights, a wall light, extractor fan and a black ladder-style heated rail to warm the towels.
The rear outside space is equally as impressive as the interior; four wall lights illuminate the pebbled parking space – currently accessed via a picket fence – and give way to the detached brick-built garage with up-and-over electric door, power and light, electric car charger and storage area to one end with a personal side door. A gated passageway to the side provides a home for the bins, a log store and an outside tap. A paved patio supports a greenhouse, a shed, has space for a barbecue and gives access to the French windows of the garden room which offers an idyllic retreat. With under-floor heating to the wood-effect porcelain tiled floor, recessed downlighting, a wall-mounted projector and drop-down screen, this lovely addition has created not only a cinema room but a superb guest apartment as it also has been fitted with a washroom comprising a two-piece white suite.
Beyond the patio, a brick-set path meanders between shrub borders and a small lawn to a totally secluded circular patio for al fresco dining with a strategically placed water feature to set the mood to relaxation. A gap between the hazel hurdle fence panels with espalier fruit trees leads to a further lawn with a stepping-stone path to the shepherd’s hut, having power and light, offering the perfect home office you can imagine overlooking a pasture of grazing sheep.
