The kitchen comes well-appointed with a selection of timeless Shaker-inspired cabinetry, complementary worktops, and metro-tiled splashbacks, with neatly integrated appliances comprising an induction hob, an oven, a combi microwave oven, a washer/dryer and a fridge/freezer. The kitchen affords access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a versatile study/single bedroom/storage room, and a WC. Upstairs, a landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a bathroom. The sleeping areas are all neutrally decorated and two boast their own stylish, contemporary en-suite shower rooms, including the principal which is also supplemented by built-in storage. The fourth bedroom can alternatively be utilised as a dressing room. Finally, the tiled bathroom comprises a bath with a rainfall showerhead and handset, a basin atop a vanity unit, and a WC. The home has oil central heating and double-glazed windows. Externally, the cottage is perfectly complemented by well-maintained front and rear gardens. To the front, there is a neat lawn and a walled patio, perfect for alfresco dining, whilst the rear garden also features a tranquil seating area and lawns. A front driveway provides private parking.
