Entrance
As you enter Old Peartree Cottage, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway featuring parquet flooring, a staircase rising to the first-floor galleried landing and doors to the sitting room, dining room and cloakroom.


Sitting room
Situated to the right-hand side of the hallway is the large incredibly light and bright sitting room with dual aspect windows and double doors leading onto the paved patio. This charming room features a traditional beamed ceiling and an open hearth set within a stone surround.  


Dining room
To the left side of the hallway is a formal dining room, which again is an exceptionally light and bright room with pleasant views over the front lawned garden. From the dining room a further door leads to the kitchen.


Kitchen
The kitchen is a good size and has an extensive range of fitted base and wall units, with worktops incorporating a sink with a drainer, two integrated ovens, a gas hob, griddle and an extractor hood.

The kitchen also includes a small breakfast area, dual-aspect windows, a fitted pantry and boiler cupboard.

There are two doors accessing the outside - one opens onto the patio area and garden and the other opens into a covered porch area ideal for storing logs.


Snug
Situated to the left side of the kitchen, a door opens through to a cosy snug featuring a window with views over the back garden.


Cloakroom
A useful cloakroom, which is accessed via a delightfully bespoke stained-glass panelled door completes the ground floor accommodation.


First floor
This wonderfully light and spacious galleried landing features a built-in storage cupboard and dual aspect windows to the front and rear elevations.

To the right of the staircase is the master bedroom, a bathroom and bedroom four. To the left are bedrooms two and three and a Jack and Jill bathroom.

The master bedroom is a good-sized double room, with built-in wardrobes and wonderful views from the dual-aspect windows.


Bathroom
This spacious bathroom comprises a WC, a washbasin, a bathtub with shower attachment to the tap, and a window to the rear. It has access to the loft space and to the Master bedroom and bedroom four.

Bedrooms two and three
Bedroom two, situated to the front of the property, is a good-sized double room with built-in wardrobes and pleasant garden views.

Bedroom three is situated to the rear of the property and features a built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers, storage space in the eaves and a window to the rear aspect providing lovely garden views.

A Jack and Jill bathroom provides en-suite facilities to bedrooms two and three. The bathroom comprises a WC, a washbasin, a bathtub with a shower over, a sizeable built-in airing cupboard and a window to the rear.


Garden
This charming property sits within an incredibly enviable 0.5 acre plot. To the front is a pretty walled lawned garden, which has a colourful array of spring flowers and summer foliage, a magnolia tree, mature shrubs and rose bushes.

Adjacent to the front garden is a detached brick-built tandem garage including a useful workspace, light and power and a mezzanine floor accessed via a loft ladder. Attached to the garage is a traditional-style dog kennel.

To the rear of the property is a further large lawned area featuring a lovely old well, large well-stocked borders containing a variety of established trees and shrubs and two wooden garden sheds.


Orchard
There is also an old orchard comprising a variety of apple, pear and plum trees and a sizeable kitchen garden with a greenhouse and a useful brick-built gardener's store.

The property benefits from mains water, electricity and drainage, and has oil fired central heating, liquid propane gas, a security alarm system and broadband.
