Oak Tree Cottage
This newly built detached cottage has been finished to a very high standard with quality materials used throughout. There are traditional features such as oak floors, exposed oak beams and oak doors, married with the latest in
modern comforts. The result is very successful indeed.
A wide entrance hall leads to the fabulous kitchen / dining room at the rear of the cottage. The kitchen is handmade with oak cabinets in a Shaker style with Quartz work surfaces and includes a centre island. High quality Siemens built in appliances are fitted as well as a Quooker tap. There is ample space for a dining table as well as perhaps a sofa and double doors open to the rear terrace and garden. Adjacent is the useful utility room with space for both a washing machine and tumbler drier.
To the front of the cottage is the double aspect sitting room with distinctive exposed oak beams. There is a second reception room which could happily function as a third bedroom. A downstairs wet room is finished with distinctive grey tiling.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a beautiful space with high vaulted ceiling and a walk-in dressing room and beyond a super smart bathroom with both bath and walk in shower. The second bedroom again has a vaulted ceiling and a shower room en suite.
A gravel drive to the front of the cottage provides off road parking for several vehicles. The garden to the rear faces south, and an Indian sandstone terrace across the rear of the cottage provides a perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine. The garden is laid to lawn and there is an oak clad garden store to the rear.
