May Cottage, London Road, Dunkirk, ME13

A delightful semi-detached cottage dating back to the early 1900's and bursting with period charm and creative d?cor. There is almost 1000 sq.ft of well appointed accommodation, however the current owners have explored extending the rear of the property creating a large open plan kitchen diner with separate utility room, planning has been approved and drawings available to view.

The property benefits from a large, vaulted garage, off road parking for several cars, as well as a beautifully landscaped rear garden which has an abundance of rose bushes and fruit trees.

The fa?ade is an attractive mix of clay hung tiles, red brick and a Kent peg tiled roof, the front door sits beneath a pitched canopy and opens into a convenient lobby with an area for coats and shoes.

To the right there is a charming sitting room with stripped pine flooring and a woodburning stove which is nestled within the exposed brick chimney breast.

The kitchen breakfast room has an array of solid wood units with room for free standing appliances, a butler sink over looks the garden whilst in the far corner there is a walk-in larder.

The downstairs space is further enhanced by a well-appointed family bathroom with shower over bathtub, the current owners have made many enhancements here including underfloor insulation and new flooring.

To the first floor there are two bedrooms, the main bedroom has a cast iron fireplace and wardrobe built into the alcove, whilst the second bedroom has a bifold door allowing for a small double bed.
The second floor is currently used as an office/dressing room, the space is almost 16ft wide and would be ideal for children sharing or a teenager needing their own space.

OUTSIDE:

A stable door from the kitchen opens into the courtyard which feels private and peaceful and sits between the utility room and garage. If the extension was created it would join both the utility and garage and incorporate the current kitchen creating a large open plan family space.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered with rose bushes and fruit trees, there is a raised decked area which is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sunshine.

The garage has a vaulted roof and could be converted into a small annexe for a relative or holiday let. STPC
