The house comes with a garage en bloc and rear garden and is situated in a highly convenient location within easy reach of amenities and open countryside. EPC: D

Ross Cottage is an attractive, character, staggered terraced house of unknown origins/age. It has period features including diamond lattice wood framed windows on the front elevation, and exposed beams in some rooms, including the ceiling of the living room.

It is deceptively spacious, light and quiet inside.

One enters into an inner hallway, which is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs. Modern, wood-effect LVT flooring flows through this room and into the kitchen.

Located off the dining hall is the double aspect sitting room, with beams to the ceiling and a brick fireplace housing a coal-effect gas fire.

The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units and has an understairs storage cupboard and pantry built in. There is space for a freestanding cooker, washing machine and tall fridge freezer. This room overlooks the rear garden.

A rear porch leads out to the garden from the kitchen, with space for shoes and wellies, ideal if you are coming back from a walk in the nearby countryside.

Arranged on the first floor are two double bedrooms, the larger of which is very generous indeed. All the ceilings on the first floor are vaulted.

The spacious bathroom has the benefit of a bath and separate shower cubicle.

The rear garden comprises planted beds, a patio and a pathway leading to the rear garden, where there is rear access via a pathway to the parking area/garage.

The garage is the middle of a block of three garages shared with the other two cottages and is a good size. The owners have always parked a car in front of the garage as well, although this is not officially part of the title for the property.
