DESCRIPTION

A charming and beautifully presented end of terrace cottage dating back to the early 1800's offering a wealth of charm and character throughout. The property is positioned in a highly sought after moorland village and enjoys an extended and level rear garden suitable for a range of uses including self sufficient sized vegetable gardens, wildlife areas, children and pets. The property is constructed mainly of stone and slate, whilst having been extended to create a well proportioned house and is being sold with no onward chain.

ACCOMMODATION

There is a picturesque front entrance to the cottage where the accommodation presents a number of character features including the slate floors, exposed wooden beams and lintels, and the granite stone fireplace. The sitting room, with a window overlooking the front, has the fireplace which houses a woodburning stove. There is built in shelving and an understairs storage cupboard. Through an archway in the original stone wall, the dining room enjoys a window overlooking the rear garden with the kitchen comprising a range of base and wall mounted units, granite and wooden work tops, a larder with plumbing for washing machine, an electric oven and hob, a freestanding fridge/freezer and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. There is a door from the kitchen leading to the rear patio and garden.

A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where the exposed wooden floor continues throughout the landing, 2 double bedrooms and generous single room. The family bathroom has a fully fitted suite including a sink, WC and bath with shower over. Bedroom 2 enjoys a beautiful outlook over the rear garden and is often favoured as the main bedroom.

OUTSIDE

The extended rear garden of the property is a real feature with a huge range of potential uses. Currently, it is mainly laid to lawn and has been used until now as meadowland for wildlife. It enjoys a view towards the Church and during the summer months, enjoys the sun throughout the afternoon and into the evening offering a level space as well for those looking to create a self sufficient sized vegetable garden. It is mainly fenced to all 4 sides, with gated access to one side of the property, where there is parking available for 1 vehicle and vehicle access into the rear. To the far end of the grounds is a separately fenced off wildlife area with a naturally fed pond and some former store buildings. There is an additional off lying piece of garden which again has further potential to make into a perfect veg plot or herb garden. Directly at the rear of the property is a small area of paved patio for seating, with a useful outbuilding/log store on the end of the cottage.
