Description
Located in the heart of West Stour, Salvington, sits equidistance from both the pub and village hall along the quiet lane serving the majority of dwellings. Originally considerably smaller, the cottage has been extended previously and has recently undergone a thorough renovation and transformation to provide a superb blend of traditional and contemporary accommodation, laid out over two floors. To the front, the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom and two equal sized reception rooms both offering charming features such as wooden beams, window seat and both with an exposed stone inglenook fireplace. At the rear a recently fitted galley kitchen with door to the side garden and archway through to the glorious, vaulted dining room. This stunning room is light and airy, boasting windows at both ground and first levels, two large picture doors onto the garden, the stairs to the first floor and a woodburning stove. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms off the landing and both providing outstanding en-suite facilities with one shower and one bath.

OUTSIDE
Accessed via the lane, the cottage offers tandem parking for two vehicles to the side and further parking and access to the garden can be found behind double wooden gates. An outbuilding, located in the garden and detached from the cottage, could provide a plethora of uses but is currently a store with two sets of French doors to the garden. The garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, completely enclosed and partly with a tall stone wall and predominantly laid with shingle.
