Victoria Cottages

This is a beautifully presented character property that offers spacious and adaptable accommodation of 1,591sq ft.

The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive and impressive schedule of enlargement and improvement including recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms, underfloor heating and engineered oak flooring. The roof was completely rethatched in early 2023.

A welcoming reception hall greets you and the property has a wonderful and homely feel to it, blending all the character features of a property of its age with modern day living. The property has been extended to the rear, creating a lovely open plan living space, together with ensuite ground floor bedroom.

The formal sitting room has a feature fireplace with electric wood burning stove, window seat and wooden flooring. Across the hallway is a separate office/playroom. To the rear is the real hub of the house with large L shaped open plan/kitchen/dining/family room.

The farmhouse style kitchen is well fitted with a range of units, Belfast sink with Quooker tap, double Neff oven with 5 ring Neff induction hob,and space for fridge/freezer.

A stable door leads to the rear garden and outdoor entertaining space. The open plan space continues with a family/dining area with bifold doors to the garden. Beyond this is an ensuite double bedroom complete with vaulted ceiling and dual aspect windows overlooking the courtyard and garden. The utility and store room are accessed from the courtyard.

On the first floor are 3 further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, the principal enjoying a recently fitted ensuite shower room. A modern bathroom, with free standing roll top bath, completes the accommodation.

To the front is off road parking parking for 2 cars, with attractive front garden. A side gate gives access to the rear, with an enclosed paved courtyard and seating area adjoining the cottage.

The rear gardens are a particular feature, offering much privacy and seclusion. They are laid mainly to level lawn, with a raised seating area positioned to take full advantage of the afternoon sun and sunset.
