About
Owl Cottage is situated within the centre of the village. It was originally constructed during 2000. Our vendors are just the second owners of this character property.
The builder was sympathetic with his approach and used some re-claimed lintels giving some characterful appeal to the overall finish.
In the living room there is a large red brick built fireplace with a dual fuel burner set on the matching brick hearth.
The home is heated by oil fired central heating that works in conjunction with a hive smart heating system. The windows are double glazed.
The bespoke handmade front door opens into the welcoming reception hall with doors off to all the ground floor rooms and ascending stairs to the first floor.
The kitchen/family room is fitted with solid wooden doors and matching island workspace.
A fridge, dishwasher and washing machine are all integrally fitted and are included within the sale along with a Rangemaster cooker and extractor above.
Our vendor accommodates a sofa and a large dresser and there is also plenty of room for large dining furniture. There are French style doors opening out on to a paved patio.
Double internal doors open into the spacious, light and airy living room that also allows access to the rear garden and patio.
The ground floor also hosts a useful utility room with cupboard space and plumbing for a washing machine and access to the integral garage.
There is a snug which could be used as a fifth bedroom and a tiled shower room.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms with bedroom one having exclusive use of an en-suite shower room, enjoying a his and hers wash basin arrangement and a large shower with a glass screen.
The other three bedrooms share the family bathroom which enjoys a bath with a shower and screen over.
A flight of stairs from bedroom four ascend to a large attic room with skylight windows and plenty of storage in the eaves.
Our vendors currently use it as a bedroom and office space, ideal for working from home. There is also a tiled bathroom serving this space.
Outside, the garden at the back is enclosed by timber fencing and there is some attractive mature planting. There is a paved patio close to the house ideal for BBQ’s and outside entertaining.
A useful timber shed will be included within the sale. Parking is provided by the attached single garage and adjacent drive which can accommodate several vehicles.
