April Cottage is the quintessential chocolate box cottage, a beautiful double fronted period property situated within a tranquil and highly desirable semi-rural location with stunning views across fields. This handsome property boasts an abundance of period features including exposed timber beams and inglenook fireplaces. The property has undergone tasteful refurbishment and careful extension over the years providing comfortable accommodation with that all important warm and cosy feel. Both reception rooms feature inglenook fireplaces and solid oak flooring whilst the rustic kitchen/breakfast room features granite worktops and overlooks a south facing rear garden, basking in sunshine throughout the day and providing a great sense of privacy. A very hand cloakroom and a third bedroom which has previously worked well as an office concludes the ground floor. Upstairs you will find two superb double bedrooms providing far reaching rural views. A luxurious family bathroom completes the first floor. Extensive off-road parking is provided to the front via the paved and gravelled driveway which leads to double garage with power and light. The property has many recent improvements over recent years which include replacement of the entire rear of the roof, repointing of both chimney stacks and beautiful refurbishment internally.
