We have pleasure in offering to the market this particularly attractive, part attached, period cottage which offers a versatile level of accommodation over two floors and occupies a stunning, well proportioned level plot, generous by modern standards, right at the heart of this pretty, well regarded village.
Woodbine Cottage is a truly individual home offering a wealth of character and features with attractive brick elevations beneath a pantiled roof behind which lies versatile living which has been extended to the rear elevation to enhance the internal space, creating a stunning open plan dining kitchen. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a range of Shaker style units finished in heritage colours with quartz preparation surfaces and integrated appliances, the room being flooded with light, benefitting from a dual aspect as well as a run of bifold doors to the rear which give access out into the delightful rear garden. In addition there are two further reception rooms, useful utility and ground floor cloak room. To the first floor, leading off a central landing, are four bedrooms and family bathroom. The attractive main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with inset skylights and a delightful view down the garden as well as benefitting from ensuite facilities.
The property is tastefully presented throughout, combing both traditional and modern elements with updated kitchens and bathrooms retaining the property's cottage atmosphere but combined with the benefits of modern living.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a fantastic plot, set back from the lane behind an established hedged frontage with a relatively low maintenance forecourt with gravel chipping borders and the impressive feature of a beautiful established magnolia tree. A double width driveway to the side provides off road car standing with field gate access leading to a side courtyard area and, in turn, the useful addition of a converted brick outbuilding which has been utilised as a home office with ground floor cloak room off.
The rear garden is particularly generous by modern standards extending to around 150 ft. in length and provides a wonderful outdoor space perfect for families or the keen gardener.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the accommodation and location.
