Property Description

‘Whittams Cottage’ is a picture-perfect former farmhands cottage that is set in a wonderfully quiet position on a no through lane shared with just a small number of other properties.

Its attractive painted façade and clay tiled roof give the property huge amounts of kerb appeal and its flower packed front garden only enhances your first impression.

Inside you will find two character filled reception rooms that sit astride the central staircase. To the right is an atmospheric sitting room with a traditional beamed ceiling and stunning inglenook fireplace, whilst to the left is the second reception of a dining room which features an attractive panelled wood wall and a built in dresser. A rich clay tiled floor adds a splash of colour and the room enjoys a sunny dual aspect. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen/breakfast room, again a beautifully authentic room which has a walk-in pantry, utility area and kitchen with farmhouse style units. There is plenty of space for a breakfast table and a practical tiled floor. A small lobby to the rear of the kitchen leads to a small glazed lean-to which is ideal for decamping muddy boots but also to bring along your seedlings in the warmth and shelter.

Also from the lobby you gain access to bedroom three a generous dual aspect room with a full bathroom suite including a roll top bath.

On the first floor are the two further double bedrooms, both incredibly charming, one has fitted wardrobes whilst the larger bedroom has plenty of space for freestanding furniture and a handy vanity sink. Between the two bedrooms at the top of the landing is a useful shower room.

Outside, is a gorgeous cottage style garden with well planted borders, several established trees a five-bar gated driveway and a large open car port. The back of the cottage has the most incredible mature wisteria and the garden retains a huge amount of privacy.
