2 Bedroom Detached House

Description

A fully renovated and well-presented character cottage, offering the perfect blend of period charm and modern, energy-efficient living. This beautifully finished home features a high-quality ground floor extension, creating a spacious and light-filled open-plan dining and family area, seamlessly connected to a fully integrated kitchen-ideal for contemporary living and entertaining.

The ground floor also includes a cosy living room/lounge with a feature log burner, providing a warm and inviting retreat, along with a separate utility room for added convenience. Throughout the property, oak-framed double glazing adds both elegance and insulation.

Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, both tastefully presented and flooded with natural light. The property is fitted with solar panels and an air source heat pump, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing running costs.

Externally, the home benefits from a recently built, modern double garage, offering secure parking and ample storage. Above the garage is a large first-floor space with outstanding potential for conversion into an annexe, home office, or studio (subject to the necessary planning consents).
