Watkins Cottage is a traditional, detached three bedroom cottage which has been a loving, family home for over 20 years. This 19th Century property is constructed of solid sandstone under a pitched slate roof and provides an excellent opportunity for someone searching for a spacious and flexible home briefly comprising of a porch, kitchen, living room, family bathroom, three double bedrooms and externally an extensive driveway and detached, double garage with dual door access, all set within 0.25 acres.
The principle access to the property is via a lean-to uPVC porch with tiled flooring, perfect for storing those muddy boots or washing your pets paws. The kitchen was renovated approximately 5 years ago which included the installation of new sky lights. The kitchen is modern, featuring an integrated electric oven and hob, 1.5 bowl drainer sink and a wall mounted radiator. The living room is ideal for evening entertainment featuring a lovely open fire.
There are two generous double bedrooms on the ground floor with the largest complete with fitted wardrobes. A uPVC glass door from the main hall allows access to the garden and there is scope to create a lovely decking area. The family bathroom has been upgraded recently and is complete with white tiled walls, bath with complimentary grey boarded splashback, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. Upstairs there is a third bedroom with two Velux windows and plenty of storage space. There is a door into the attic from the upstairs landing, which is boarded and offers a fantastic space for storage.
Externally, the property is peacefully located in the corner of a quiet estate in Eaglesfield. A large driveway with gated access provides parking for at least five vehicles and the detached double garage with dual door access and boarded attic provides an additional secure space for parking and storage or it would make a brilliant workshop. The boundary of the property is well fenced and to the side of the house is a good sized of lawn and planting area. There is an outdoor tap and multiple storage sheds.
