2 Bedroom Detached House

Property Description: A rare opportunity on the rental market, Robinia Cottage is a beautifully finished two bedroom character home, thoughtfully extended and renovated to an exceptional standard in 2021.

Inside, the cottage blends charm with modern living. The entrance porch leads into a bright hallway, where an exposed brick chimney breast adds real character and continues up to the galleried landing above. There’s also the convenience of a downstairs W/C and additional storage.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, located in the modern extension. With its vaulted ceiling and abundance of natural light, it’s a fantastic space for both relaxing and entertaining. The contemporary shaker-style kitchen features charcoal cabinetry, brass handles, herringbone tiling, a marble-effect worktop, and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include an oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, with space allocated for a washing machine.

Upstairs, the galleried landing creates a light filled area ideal for a small home office or reading nook. The main bedroom is full of character, with high ceilings, an exposed beam, and a decorative fireplace. The second bedroom, located on the ground floor, also features charming original details including oak beams and a decorative fireplace. The stylish bathroom includes a roll-top bath, separate shower, and vanity unit.
