High Street, Downton

A charming Grade II Listed period cottage, split over three floors, set in a highly popular village

The Property

Currently run as a successful holiday let and therefore chain free, this beautifully presented Grade II Listed period cottage is ready for any buyer to move straight in, and only a stones throw from everything Downton has to offer. The front door on the high street is more of a suggestion as there is access to the rear of the property, garden and car port, via a shared gravelled driveway.

Downstairs there is a wonderfully cosy sitting room with a feature, exposed-brick fireplace and wood burner. The kitchen at the back of the property, which can be used as the entrance, has a light and welcoming feeling, some storage and enough room for a table and chairs. There are stunning wooden beams throughout the downstairs, seamlessly bringing the rooms together without compromising on the separate living spaces.

The first floor comprises of one of the two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The second double bedroom is found on the top floor. Both bedrooms stretch the width and length of the property, giving ample light from the dual aspect windows and useful storage space. The recently revamped bathroom has a full bath with shower.

Outside

Across the rear driveway, is the car port and parking space and beyond this, the south facing private garden. Recently landscaped and with summer house, it is laid mainly to lawn with raised flower bed, patio area with hedging, shrubs, bushes and trees.
