PROPERTY
This delightful terraced cottage offers lovely rural views to the south east from the sitting room, main bedroom and front garden. Set away from the main road, the Victorian era terrace has real charm and character.
The cottage offers reverse level accommodation to make the most of the elevated views from the sitting room and there is a nice patio to the rear of the kitchen which is a suntrap.
Entering the house, the two double bedrooms are on the ground floor. The double bedroom to the rear would have originally been the master bedroom so is of a good size. The front bedroom is also generous in size having been extended. There is a Victorian fireplace in the original part of the house and exposed beams. This is currently used as a dressing area for the bedroom while the extension to the front provides space for a double bed with a Velux window above.
Heading upstairs there is a full width sitting room to the front of the house. The views of the rolling hillside to the south east from here are lovely and there are glimpses of the Tresillisan river. The room itself features a fireplace at one end with an inset woodburner on a slate hearth. This living room offers plenty of space for a dining area as well. A space saving ladder staircase provides access to a mezzanine area. With a low ceiling this is a useful storage area, but can be used as an occasionally bedroom or reading nook - children would love it as an den!
There is a modernised family bathroom on this floor with a P shaped bath with shower over, a close coupled toilet and an attractive counter-top sink.
The kitchen to the rear of the house has a range of cream shaker style cabinets with an inset double oven with a gas hob above and an under counter fridge. A door from the kitchen leads out to the low maintenance rear garden. Being west facing this becomes a suntrap in the afternoon. It is fully fenced so 'dog friendly'.
There are a number of outbuildings and stores with the property. The first is next to the kitchen and is plumbed for use as a utility room. From the rear garden steps lead down to a rear access path which runs behind the terrace. Below the rear terrace there are two storage rooms, ideal for wetsuit storage, bikes etc. There is a right of way for the owner of this house to walk the length of this path behind the other properties for access.
The lawned garden to the front offers nice views and is a great place to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. A path leads down to the road below where there is almost always parking in a layby in front of the terrace.
This house is deceptive, having been extended it is larger than it may look. The home is very well presented and should certainly be seen to be appreciated.
