DESCRIPTION
Set behind wrought iron railings and partially screened from Stade Street by some magnificent flowering cherries, Rose Cottage is an enchanting Grade II Listed Georgian house offering a wealth of original features from joinery, including internal shutters on the windows and storm shutters at the main entrance, to beautiful open fireplaces. The property has been sympathetically improved by the current owner and now offers attractively presented accommodation of elegant proportions with a versatile layout.
The accommodation includes a lovely entrance hall with a pleasant view through the inner hall and to the rear garden. There are two reception rooms at this level (one currently used as a bedroom) and two generous bedrooms each with en-suite facilities and the principal with an adjoining dressing room/fourth bedroom. On the lower floor, which is at garden level, there is an atmospheric dining room, beautiful kitchen - the hub of the home with gas Aga and walk-in larder leading to the cellar, utility room and third bedroom with adjacent wet room.
The gardens are a particularly attractive feature with the rear garden enjoying a westerly aspect and being enclosed by tall ragstone walls provides a delightfully secluded environment in which to relax and dine alfresco. The front garden is a lovely spot from where to watch the world go by whilst enjoying a morning coffee.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
