Full Description
Step back in time on your arrival at Smithwood Common and view this beautiful and tranquil cottage offered for sale. There is ample parking opposite the property and further space along the side of the Common. The current owners have owned the home since 2004 and have carefully restored its character and charm.
The lovely dark solid oak door to the porch welcomes you into a useful space for coats and boots etc and then a further wooden door leads you into the stunning main living rooms. The vendors have opened up the downstairs layout to provide a truly versatile living space, with an exposed brick open fireplace to the dining area and French doors leading on to the pretty courtyard garden. Wood flooring and exposed beams throughout the downstairs accommodation add further to the period features that this property offers.
The kitchen/breakfast room has recently been sympathetically updated with Wren wall and base cupboards and drawers in a matt cream finish, integrated dishwasher, handsome stainless steel Stoves range cooker and oak counter worktops. Original features include a small paned window over the sink and a decorative non-working fireplace in the breakfast area. The kitchen benefits from superb underfloor heating and leads into the generous utility room with further useful storage, a second sink and space/plumbing for additional white goods. There is also a separate downstairs cloakroom.
Stairs leading from the breakfast room take you to the first floor. The principal bedroom is a delight, once again with open beams and a wrought iron Victorian fireplace. The property affords two further bedrooms, one with fitted mirrored wardrobes and the other with fitted cupboards and additional beams offering character. All bedrooms have fantastic views: either of fields to the rear of the Common at the back; or Winterfold to the front. The expansive bathroom offers a white suite with twin washbasins and a large bath with integral shower.
Outside is a very interesting garden with a courtyard patio directly outside the rear of the property which then travels on a gravel and brick edged path meandering through mature beds with shrubs to a lawned area and well stocked flowerbeds. Here you will find an attractive summerhouse, built four years ago, which has the added benefit of certified electrics and internet currently used as an office but with its decking also offers a beautiful space for outside entertaining and relaxing.
