Description
An opportunity to acquire a charming stone and slate character cottage, set on the outskirts of the National Trust’s Arlington Court. The property was originally 2 small cottages, thought to have been lived in by the village seamstress and blacksmith. They were part of the Arlington estate until the late 1970’s when they were bought and converted into one dwelling. It is beautifully set in gardens and grounds of approx. half an acre, with off-road parking and a detached timber garage/workshop.
The main cottage exudes charm and character with its traditional stone construction, showcasing timeless architectural elegance. Upon entering through a wooden front door there is a selection of base units with wooden work surface and integrated sink. There is storage in the floor to ceiling cupboards, the range cooker is set in the recess of the old chimney. The flooring is slate with 2 windows to the front elevation. Accessed via the kitchen a useful utility room offers sizeable space for further appliances.
Leading into the spacious living room a focal log burner is situated in the recessed chimney area with stairs rising to the first floor, where 3 bedrooms are found, 2 being doubles and also a 3-piece suite shower room. There is potential for extension, subject to any necessary planning permissions.
A delightful stone-built annexe provides additional accommodation, perfect for guests or extended family members.
