A beautiful semi-detached cottage set in this quiet yet convenient non-estate position. Having been substantially extended, it offers surprisingly spacious accommodation, with three double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom on the first-floor, three well-sized receptions on the ground floor along with a stunning central kitchen with vaulted ceiling with skylights flooding light into the space below. The extensive list of works including the sizable two storey extension to the rear have been completed in such a way that they blend in sympathy with the undoubted character of the original home. To compliment the works undertaken the accommodation has been tastefully decorated throughout and is presented in ‘showhome’ condition. Whilst this charming semi enjoys many of the attributes, comforts and benefits of a modern house, none of the integrity and identity of the older style has been lost. The kitchen has a vast range of traditional ‘shaker’ style units with contrasting natural-wood work surfaces over, including a large central island and a range style cooker set in its own chimney recess. The kitchen boasts striking slate flooring which flows through to the breakfast room and benefits from underfloor heating. There has been a downstairs cloakroom added adjacent to the breakfast room at the rear, which in turn leads out onto the excellently tended private garden, which extends in excess of 80ft. Externally the large frontage provides off road parking for several cars; at the end of the rear garden, accessible to the side, is an extraordinary, fully insulated detached office building which the current owners have added in recent years. For the new home owners who have a need to work from home this is a special and peaceful space, and with the additional side garden access any clients could visit without having to enter via the house, keeping home and business life separate.
