This home offers excellent open plan living space in a central yet peaceful location, truly providing a lifestyle choice that blends classic appeal with modern convenience.
From the useful front porch, step inside a bright and inviting lounge with statement fireplace. Leading seamlessly into a versatile area, currently serving as a dining space but equally could be a productive office space.
The generous kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight. Featuring classic cabinetry with generous storage, a breakfast bar, and space for both washing machine and dishwasher. The fantastic layout has French doors that open directly onto the patio area and south-facing garden. Perfect for enjoying sunny morning coffee or al fresco dining.
The ground floor also encompasses a well-appointed bathroom. Fitted with white sanitary ware, handbasin with storage, and generous shower cubicle.
Upstairs, you will find two comfortable double bedrooms, offering peaceful retreats with lovely countryside views. There is also potential here to extend into the loft space.
Externally, Ella Cottages are set back from the road, providing convenient off-road block paved driveway parking at the front. The good-sized rear garden is attractively landscaped with a brick patio area and lawn with a complimentary path leading to a sectioned area for garden storage creating a delightful outdoor space. Perfect for both entertaining and children’s play.
In summary the property has been thoughtfully enhanced with improvements such as re-plastered walls and ceilings, upgraded bedroom doors, beautiful wooden shutter blinds. Externally block paving has been laid to both the front and rear garden. There is also potential to extend into the loft space, subject to necessary planning permissions, as neighbouring properties have successfully done. Plenty of space in the rear garden for an office space or pod.
This property would make a fantastic first buy that could be extended to accommodate a growing family. Or alternatively a great downsize, or investment buy.
