Description
Beech Cottage is a charming semi-detached brick and flint cottage full of character and believed to date back to the late 19th century. The property has been sympathetically extended and modernised over recent years to create a delightful home.
The front door opens into the dual aspect dining room with wooden beams and exposed areas of brick and flint on the walls. There is plenty of room for a table, with patio doors on to the terrace and lovely views over the garden. Accessed from the dining area is a cloakroom with a shower, and a bedroom/reception room with a wall of fitted wardrobes and windows overlooking the garden. A snug area with a picture window leads into the sitting room, with exposed beams and a fireplace with a wood burning stove. The kitchen and utility area is well appointed with a range of shaker style units with shelving and wine storage and an under stairs cupboard. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, double oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and there is space for a washing machine. A Velux window gives additional natural light and a door leads out to the side of the house.
Stairs from the kitchen lead up to the first floor landing with steps up to a half landing with storage. This in turn leads into the principal bedroom which is dual aspect with views over the garden and fitted wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and both with a front aspect. A family bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.
The cottage is approached through electric wooden gates, operated via a mobile phone, on to a Cotswold stone driveway with parking for several cars. There are raised flower beds and a pathway leads to the property with steps down to the walled terrace area, perfect for outside entertaining. The path wraps around the house to the front door and gate, and there is also access to the back kitchen door from the terrace area. The garden is landscaped and mainly laid to lawn with well-tended flower and shrub borders. An attractive summer house/home office is located at the top of the garden with electricity, fitted units with worktops and is alarmed.
