THE AGENT SAYS...
5 School Cottages is a very pretty property set in a terrace of similar early Victorian homes (built 1840). The cottage has been fully and sympathetically refurbished throughout, with characterful architectural features beautifully showcased. A clever modern touch is the installation of infrared electric heaters which appear as pieces of wall art. The cottage is set well back from the street with a west facing lawned front garden. The rear garden is east facing and encompasses a timber outbuilding with plenty of storage and a coveted outdoor bar.

THE PROPERTY
The main entrance opens into the pretty, archetypal cottage sitting room which is centred around a wood-burning stove in an attractive fireplace. This lovely room has character in abundance and it is easy to imagine curling up on the sofa while winter winds and rains lash down outside.

The kitchen spans the rear of the cottage and is fitted with soft grey units topped with wooden worktops, offering plenty of workspace and storage for keen cooks. The current owners use a butterfly dining set to provide seating as and when required. A small porch off the kitchen provides space for a washing machine and tumble drier. The porch leads out to the rear garden.

The principal bedroom is a good size and nicely proportioned for a king size bed and cabinets. The exposed stone surrounding the leaded window is a most attractive feature as you enter the room. Bedroom two is currently set-up as a small double, with integrated bedside tables, and works very well as a guest room. Bedroom three is a single that is currently used as a sewing room.

The elegant bathroom has been finished in a traditional style with wall panelling, a roll top bath, countertop sink with rustic vanity unit, high level cistern, and brass fittings. Behind a partial wall is a separate modern shower cubicle.

OUTSIDE

The long front garden is laid to lawn with a gravel pathway to the front door along one side. On the opposite side there is a long border filled with trees and herbaceous shrubs. Picket fences enclose both sides and there is off road parking. A latched pedestrian gate provides access to the garden. This garden faces west - perfect to enjoy afternoon and evening sun - with an arbour providing a delightful spot to sit and enjoy the countryside views.
