Description

1 and 2 Leeford Cottages is a highly attractive detached period cottage (not listed) that has been meticulously modernised and extended in recent years. The house offers immaculately presented accommodation over two floors, with a particularly effective ground floor layout. There is very generous parking and a beautiful, landscaped garden.
The elevations are brick and part tile-hung, beneath a tiled roof. There is sealed unit double glazing and gas fired central heating.

The main features of the property include:
• The covered storm porch has a bench and leads to the entrance hall which features Umbrian limestone flooring and exposed brick to one wall.
• Panelled door to boot room, with space for coats and boots and a cupboard housing the Worcester gas boiler. Door to the guest cloakroom, with WC and wash hand basin, heated towel rail and limestone flooring. The utility/shower room is a very useful space, plumbed for the washing machine and tumble dryer, with a tiled shower cubicle and part glazed door leading out to the side of the house.
• The sitting room is a nicely proportioned room, again with Umbrian limestone flooring and lovely views to the front. There are some exposed beams and a wooden mantelpiece, with a brick hearth and a high quality two-sided logburner,
which also serves the adjacent study/television room. Again with limestone flooring and some exposed beams, a slightly vaulted ceiling with
two Velux windows.
• The striking kitchen/dining/family room is undoubtedly one of the main features of the house. There is an extensive range of painted wooden wall and base units with Quartz worktops, incorporating ‘butlers’ style sink with
double drainer. There is a 4-ring Bosch induction hob with overhead extractor and two Bosch electric ovens (1 convection oven and 1 combined microwave). Integrated fridge and freezer and Zanussi dishwasher. Useful central island unit with solid oak worktop and a co-ordinating side unit with additional storage and an integrated wine fridge. Ample space for both dining and sitting,
the bi-fold doors lead out to a large paved terrace, ideal for entertaining.
• The inner hall is vaulted and panelled with two Velux windows and understairs storage cupboard, with stairs to the first floor.
• First floor landing with exposed brick chimney and exposed wooden beams.
• The principal bedroom is a comfortable double bedroom and offers lovely views to the front, over neighbouring countryside. There are exposed beams to the walls and ceiling and a fitted double wardrobe. Door to the ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, with rolltop bath with mixer taps, separate glazed and tiled shower cubicle, wash basin in vanity unit, WC and wooden flooring. A second door
leads out to the landing.
• Bedroom 2 is another generous double room with similar views and door to the en suite shower room, with glazed and tiled shower cubicle, wash basin in vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. Partly tiled walls and vinyl tiled floor.
Bedroom 3 with exposed beams.

Outside
The property sits on a wide plot, the first section of which provides a generous fenced and gravelled parking area, leading to the detached oak double carport, with storage room/workshop behind.
The main garden is largely laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs and hedges. There is a large wooden garden shed and a charming timber ‘seating nook’, offering lovely views over the garden and countryside beyond. Towards the bottom of the garden is an established and pretty arbour, allowing for a shaded bench seating area. Adjacent to the house, there is an additional paved terrace with pergola above, perfect for al fresco dining. The extensive terrace continues to three sides of the house and is an excellent addition to the main garden.
