A charming, stone-built, four-bedroom, character cottage, brimming with period features, Ivy Cottage sits on a pretty plot with an enclosed garden, paved terrace, large, detached garage, and driveway parking for several vehicles.
This bright and welcoming home has been sensitively and lovingly restored by the current owner, creating a spacious and inviting open-plan living area downstairs and four double bedrooms upstairs, of which two have ensuite bathrooms. Throughout the property, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and original fireplaces add to the charm of this much-loved cottage.
The superb open plan kitchen diner is the perfect space to gather and entertain. There is ample space for dining and an additional seating area in which to relax around the fabulous inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The kitchen features a range of wooden base and wall units topped with a granite work top. Additional storage is provided by a walk-in pantry and there is a Belfast sink, range cooker and an American style fridge freezer. In the adjoining utility room there is additional storage, space for white goods and access to the rear patio garden.
In contrast, the sitting room, with views across the rear garden, provides a cosy space to gather around the wood burning stove. From here there is access to a bright and light study with windows looking across the front of the property and plenty of built in shelving.
Upstairs the principal bedroom suite, with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams is a quiet retreat which is quite separate from the other bedrooms. The ensuite, decorated in neutral tones and mosaic tiles, incorporates both a traditional roll top bath and separate shower.
At the other side of the cottage there are three more characterful double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. The other two bedrooms share a family bathroom.
Outside
The lovely rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with deep boarders of well-established shrubs and trees providing privacy. A paved terrace, bordered with lavender, leads out from the kitchen, creating a fabulous and peaceful area to entertain. At the front of the cottage there is an extensive patio garden leading to a large, detached garage fitted with utilities, which could easily be adapted to create an additional dwelling (subject to consents). The substantial driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
