AP Estate Agents are proud to present this charming semi-detached Victorian cottage, located in semi-rural location which is barely visible from the road. The current vendors have extensively and sympathetically updated both inside and out, without losing any of that period character so many people love about properties of this era. The walls have been re-skimmed and are now rolled marzipan smooth throughout, new LED spot lighting has been introduced and every room re-painted resulting in a stylish blend of modern and traditional colours. A new boiler has been installed along with Old school style radiators which coordinate perfectly with the plantation shutters and period features throughout this wonderful home.
INSIDE THE PROPERTY
There are a couple of ways in which to the enter the property, from the front door you step directly into the LOUNGE as with so many properties of this era, it is a lovely room with a cast iron period fireplace at its heart, a large window overlooks the front garden with plantation shutters that can be fully opened if desired. This room feels warm and cozy with rich Oak flooring throughout which seamlessly flows through to the DINING ROOM where you have a double aspect view to the side of the property with old school style radiators under each window. This room has a feature fireplace with a solid wood beam above and a decorative tiled hearth, there is plenty of room for a table, space under the stairs as well as a built in cupboard. This is a great property to entertain guests with a natural flow through the rooms toward the KITCHEN; just a small step down and you will notice the striking combination of natural stone floor tiles with the warmth of the butcherblock worktops and freshness of the new kitchen units, it looks fantastic. Its a good size room with ample units on opposite sides, you will note space for a tall fridge freezer and undercounter dishwasher in addition to a ceramic butler sink and a stunning Rangemaster with matching extractor above (included within the sale). The kitchen has recently been replaced along with the storage cupboards and drawers within the LOBBY area by the back door (another entrance), from here you can get to the UTILITY room which has plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, wall units, the (Viessmann) boiler is housed in the room and it also contains a WC and wash basin, this is so useful especially for guests or nipping in from the garden without having to walk through the house.
FIRST FLOOR
Stairs take you up from the dining room to the first floor LANDING where directly in front is the MAIN BEDROOM, beautifully decorated with plenty of space for a large bed and furniture surrounding it, the window provides a perfect aspect of the front of the house where the sun sets, ensuring no early morning sunlight interrupting your lay in. Further down the landing is BEDROOM 2 which occupies the rear of the property and views over the rear garden. In between the two bedrooms is the airing cupboard and BATHROOM with a stained glass door (which perfectly matches the tiles in the room), fully tiled and with matching colour border, consisting of a white suite with WC, Pedestal wash basin, heated towel rail above the radiator and a panel bath with electric shower above.
SECOND FLOOR
The attic of this property was converted a longtime ago to create BEDROOM 3, the result is a good size double with a single velux window, storage has not been compromised as a eves cupboard offers loads of space for suitcases, Christmas decorations etc, preferable perhaps to having to draw down a ladder and climb through a hatch. In addition to this cupboard there is some remaining boarded loft space accessed through a high level door. It was discovered that there was no retaining firewall between the two properties so this past year one has been erected and the insulation for the loft was replaced at the same time.
OUTSIDE
The front garden has a area of grass and then foliage, beyond is PARKING for 3 vehicles comfortably, it is surrounded by a picket fence with a gravel base. The garden then extends beyond this to the front of the property, where there are a mixture of low growing shrubs and flowers with a brick path winding through the garden and round a large magnolia tree, eventually you reach an area of patio abutting to the front of the property and the front door. The dense foliage frontage of the property still allows plenty of direct sunlight through, plus adds privacy as well as providing a considerable distance between the house and the road. There is a track along the side of the property that provides access to both 1 Holmbush Cottage and Off The Line Vineyard (this business is out of sight beyond the bottom of the garden).
The garden continues around the side of the property to the rear with a series of gates and a paved path, again the boundary along this edge is heavily populated by an assortment of flowers, shrubs and plants. Upon reaching the back door the garden opens up to a patio area with a new stock fencing of mature laurel hedge border. Significant work has been done here to maximise the width of the garden, which has resulted in a really nice space for the family to enjoy. A couple of steps take you down to a decking area suitable for garden furniture and under the shade of a specimen thornless Locust tree, this area of garden sees the last of the evening sun, so its the perfect place to relax and unwind amongst this property's lovely garden. The end of the garden has been used for produce, the current vendors have a growing area with vegetable growing boxes and a greenhouse and it is surrounded by low fencing. Beyond this area of garden you will find further PARKING for another couple of vehicles on a concrete base, with an ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING POINT fitted to the outside of the large OUTBUILDING; looking like a small cottage with a single door to the side, a lead lattice window, gabled dormer, cedar roof tiles, wood ship lapping. The construction of the building is partially made from the body of a lorry and still has the roller shutters inside the workshop area, the other side has been converted into an office space, insulated with a wooden floor, loft storage and double glazed French doors.
