DESCRIPTION
A delightful three double bedroom detached period property with an abundance of character features, off road parking and situated within close proximity to open countryside, all just a short stroll from the city centre.
Upon entering the house is a spacious hall with flagstone floors leading into the dual aspect sitting room, situated at the front of the house, with a wood burner as the focal point and a bay window looking out over the pretty cottage gardens. In the centre of the house is a dining room/day room with ample space for a table to accommodate eight people whilst also having space for comfortable seating. The room has an array of bespoke cabinetry, flagstone floors, wood burner and a large under stairs cupboard. The kitchen features a range of wall and base units with space for a range cooker and American style fridge/freezer along with a window to the side of the house. A utility room makes for a great area for a washing machine and tumble dryer with it also having direct access outside and access to a shower room with a walk-in shower, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Stairs rise to the light and open first floor landing leading to the three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom runs the width of the house with a dual aspect, views over the garden and fitted storage. Two further double bedrooms both look out to the side of the house with hill views in the distance and one of them having the benefit of an ensuite shower room. The main bathroom features a roll top bath, separate shower enclosure, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail.
OUTSIDE
The pretty cottage style garden has the benefit of facing South-West allowing it to get sunshine throughout the day. A gravel area provides a wonderful area for outside seating, dining and entertaining with a winding path past flower beds, mature shrubs and an array of climbing plants towards the parking area. The parking area has space for 2/3 cars off road, previously there has been an old garage which gives scope to build a new one subject to any additional consents.
