Bay Cottage is a charming detached period property offering three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a delightful garden, and off-road parking. Conveniently located along the A12, this home provides a blend of character and practicality, making it a fantastic opportunity for families, first-time buyers, or investors.
Set back from the road, the property boasts mature planting that adds to its picturesque appeal. The raised garden creates an inviting approach, while the driveway at the side provides off-road parking for two to three cars, leading to a single sectional garage.
Upon entering through the glazed UPVC front door, you are welcomed into an entrance hallway with a radiator and stairs leading to the first floor. The living room is a bright and inviting space, featuring a bay window to the front that allows natural light to flood the room. Built-in storage and radiators add to the practicality, while a feature tiled fireplace with an inset gas fire provides a cosy focal point.
A second sitting room offers additional living space with another front-facing window, a radiator, and a charming brick fireplace with a tiled hearth and wooden mantle, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
The kitchen/breakfast room, situated at the rear of the house, is fitted with low-level units, roll-edge work surfaces, and a single drainer sink with tiled splashbacks. There is space for an electric oven as well as the fitted Aga and the room benefits from a radiator and two storage cupboards, including a useful under-stairs cupboard and a pantry with fitted shelving and a rear-facing window.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing has a window and radiator, with access to the loft, plus a large storage cupboard. The main bedroom is a spacious double with a front-facing window and radiator. The second bedroom also enjoys a front aspect and radiator, while the third bedroom overlooks the rear garden and features a built-in storage cupboard.
The bathroom, positioned at the rear of the house, is fitted with a white suite, including a bath, pedestal wash basin, and WC. A separate shower cubicle with an electric shower adds convenience, while partially tiled walls and a heated towel rail complete the space.
A rear porch with windows to the side and rear provides access to the garden, leading to a utility room equipped with an oil-fired boiler, WC, plumbing for a washing machine, a water softener, and a rear-facing window.
The garden is a true highlight of Bay Cottage, offering a large patio seating area surrounded by mature plants. A pathway provides side access to the front, while additional shrubs and greenery create a peaceful outdoor setting. A summerhouse, two sheds, and a greenhouse add further versatility. An oil tank is discreetly positioned within the grounds, and a separate section of the garden, divided by mature conifer trees, features a well-maintained lawn bordered by a charming wall.
Full of character and potential, Bay Cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a period home with ample space, a beautiful garden, and convenient access to transport links.
