THE AGENT SAYS... 42 High Street is a well laid out and nicely proportioned traditional hamstone cottage presented in good order. The property has a particularly lovely sitting room and upstairs it benefits from a loft room which has potential to be a great home office or hobby space. Outside there is a sunny courtyard to enjoy summer evenings and a separate lawned garden with distant views. THE PROPERTY The entrance hall is decorated in a rich grey-blue which is echoed on the stair treads and highlighted by white woodwork and floor tiles. The tiles flow through into the kitchen which is a harmony of nature-inspired greens with a black laminate worktop. The former fireplace has been cleverly converted into a decorative dresser, expanding the storage space and adding much character. The kitchen has a built-under oven, gas hob with extractor above, and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. The room also accommodates a fridge-freezer and small dining table. At the end of the hall is the bright and spacious sitting room which has an attractive stone fireplace with a builtin cabinet on one side and a tv shelf on the other. There is also a storage cupboard under the stairs. Off the sitting room is the rear hall which has a WC and a door out to the courtyard. On the first floor there are two good-size double bedrooms, with fitted wardrobes in the principal suite. The third bedroom is a small single - currently used as a study. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, WC, wash basin, and a large airing cupboard for towel/linen storage. The loft room is currently accessed via a hatch but there may be potential to add staircase access. The loft room is light and has good ceiling height and could make an excellent alternative to the current study. OUTSIDE The property has a small front garden surrounded by a low wall with a couple of steps and path leading to the front door. At the rear there is a courtyard adjoining the cottage which catches the afternoon sun. There is a small but useful stone-built garden store. The main garden is separate from the cottage and accessed via a shared grass walkway. The lawned garden slopes up perpendicular to the cottage and has planting and fencing/trellis on both sides. Along the pathway leading up the garden is a small shed and a picnic bench. The top of the garden is significantly elevated above the surrounding houses and enjoys big sky views and the feel of a much larger space. This property benefits from a pedestrian right of way through the archway at the side. SERVICES Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating.
