A charming four bedroom detached residence, centrally located within the town yet away from passing traffic. Offering off road parking, garage, workshop and attractive walled gardens.  No onward Chain.

Purley Cottage is well located in a quiet location, yet within easy level walking distance of the town centre.  The property is predominantly stone built with a later rear extension, under a slate roof and is set back from the road behind with a formal landscaped garden.  Although there is a degree of modernisation required to the property, from viewing it will be clear to see what a special home this is. 
Approached via a covered porchway an original timber door opens into a large and welcoming hallway off which lies a comfortable sitting room with focal fireplace. With a nearby downstairs bathroom, this sitting room could equally be converted into a bedroom if preferred. An inner hallway to the rear provides access to the fabulously light dining/garden room converted in 2022, which enjoys lovely views and doors onto the gardens. The drawing room is towards the front of the house and benefits from a dual aspect and gas fire. The kitchen, whilst in need of some modernisation, is excellent and provides plenty of space for a table and chairs. There is a gas fired Aga (green), space and connection for a fridge freezer and dishwasher along with a range of wall and base units. Beyond the kitchen is a conveniently positioned and spacious utility room with Belfast sink, space and connection for a washing machine and white goods with direct and very practical access to the garden.
Stairs rise to the first floor from the rear hall where there are three excellent double bedrooms with a southerly aspect and a single bedroom or study. The principal bedroom is light and bright with a very generous ensuite shower room with plenty of storage space. A family bathroom  serves the remaining bedrooms and is well proportioned, offering scope to be divided to create a second en suite if so desired.

To the front of the property is an attractive landscaped garden, with off road parking at the front of the house and access to the garage. The gardens lie mainly to the rear of the property and provide a fantastic terrace that is the ideal area for outside dining. Beyond is an area of lawn bounded by a variety of well stocked flower borders and established shrubs with paths that lead to a small stone built shed and also give access around the side of the property to the front. There is a variety of ornamental trees including a cherry and a Juniper tree, whilst a scented Daphne bush, old climbing roses and a Wisteria along the back wall all play their part in creating a wonderfully peaceful and attractive space. Conveniently, access can also be gained from here to a large workshop/store and through to the garage and road beyond.
