Overdale is a deceptively spacious three bedroom detached cottage, hiding a little secret that it was originally a bakehouse back in the times when Eccleston and Heskin were two small hamlets when everyday life was simpler and everyone knew each other. For many years now, the property has been a residence only, but has retained its character and charm, along with providing spacious living space and generously proportioned lounge and dining room with their high ceilings and attractive features.
An open canopied porch welcomes you in and an oversized entrance door gives access to the entrance hall with clever use of storage having understairs built in cupboards and a further mirror fronted cloaks cupboard with shelving and hanging space.
The lounge has windows to the front and side, and easily accommodates plenty of seating for families and friends to relax in front of the wood burning stove, set in stone walled fireplace with oak mantle. Ceiling beams are exposed and background heat is provided by two radiators.
Having a formal feel, yet one can imagine the wonderful dinner parties which have taken place in the Dining Room, this second reception with immediate access to the main bedroom and the Breakfast Room offers a flexible living space to work around your needs.
The Breakfast Room enjoys lovely views from the French doors which lead to the balcony overlooking the stunning garden beyond. Two steps lead down to the kitchen, which albeit not the open plan expansive kitchen which seems to be the box everyone wishes to tick at the moment, Overdale's kitchen is fully fitted and thoughtfully planned out. However, if you do require a larger area, the kitchen is adjacent to the workshop/garage, and therefore it would be a fairly easy project to extend into this space.
The main bedroom overlooks the gardens beyond and is a light and airy room with built in wardrobes and storage. The ground floor shower room is situated off the entrance hall, having contemporary style fittings and corner shower cubicle.
Also from the Entrance Hall a spindle staircase leads us to a landing with built in storage cupboard, and two further bedrooms, both with pitched roofs, storage space, Velux window and exposed ceiling beams.
Approached via a gravelled and paved driveway, a five bar gate gives access to the entrance door and garage with its up and over door, power and light. The rear of the garage has been
utilised as a workshop and this is accessed from the balcony to the rear of the property.
