A delightful, spacious and well presented detached cottage close to Felton Common, with a beautiful large garden enjoying far reaching countryside views, and benefitting from period features, off street parking and a useful downstairs study, perfect for those working from home.
\rAbout the property:
Heather Grove is a pretty, double fronted period cottage offering spacious accommodation, off street parking, and a large south east facing garden with lovely views over neighbouring farmland. The property has been altered over the years to provide a comfortable family home with a large conservatory, refitted modern bathroom and a downstairs study or playroom. Outside, paved patios and raised decking offer a number of sunny spots to sit and take in the view, and a hot tub sits beside the summerhouse. Just up the street is Felton Common, perfect for walking the dog.
About the inside:
Entering through the enclosed front porch, you are welcomed straight into the main living room which stretches across the whole front of the property. Feature stone fireplaces are positioned at each end, one with a working woodburning stove. Exposed beams and polished wood floors continue throughout the cottage and into the light filled dining room which looks out over the garden, and opens into the kitchen, conservatory, and study. The study to the right is a quiet room overlooking the garden and benefits from built -in storage. Steps from the dining room lead down to the vaulted modern fitted kitchen which has a large gas range cooker, a door to the garden, and a further door to the utility room and cloakroom.
The spacious double glazed conservatory is a wonderful space to enjoy the views across the garden and open countryside.
Stairs from the living room lead up to three good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom with white painted floorboards and a modern freestanding bath positioned on a wood plinth. There is also a practical separate shower room.
About the outside:
A driveway to the side offers parking for a couple of vehicles, with timber gates opening into the rear garden. To the front of the cottage, stone walls retain an area of garden with steps leading to the front porch. To the rear, an expansive lawn sweeps down to a low hedge bordering open countryside. A paved patio outside the conservatory is perfect for al fresco dining and landscaped with roses and mature trees and shrubs, whilst a raised deck in the far corner wraps around the hot tub to enjoy the views. A timber shed and summer house benefit from power and light, and a log store is discreetly tucked to one side of the house.
