Description

A beautifully presented end of terrace period cottage within the sought-after village of Oakhill. Full of charm and character, the property has been sympathetically updated to create a stylish and comfortable home whilst retaining many of the features. The accommodation is complemented by a delightful landscaped garden, arranged on different levels creating private and distinct areas, with a superb garden studio and the rare advantage of off-road parking.

The accommodation is both practical and beautifully presented. A good sized entrance porch opens into a welcoming sitting room where a wood-burning stove provides a wonderful focal point, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Character features including thick stone walls, deep window reveals and stone mullioned windows are evident throughout, adding to the cottage's character.

The adjoining dining room provides an excellent space for dining and entertaining. Stairs rise to the first floor with a useful area beneath, while the room could easily be separated from the sitting room, should a more formal arrangement be preferred.

To the rear of the house, the kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an attractive range of shaker-style units complemented by solid timber worktops and integrated appliances, including a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher and wine cooler. Excellent storage has been carefully incorporated throughout. Beyond the kitchen is a particularly useful well planned utility room along with a downstairs cloakroom and direct access to the garden.

The first floor offers three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted wardrobes and additional storage over the stairwell. A second double bedroom with pretty window, while the third bedroom provides an ideal child's bedroom, excellent study or dressing room. A generous linen cupboard on the landing offers further practical storage.
