This charming 4 BEDROOM ATTACHED CHARACTER COTTAGE of 1,750 sq.ft., set in an IDYLLIC PEACEFUL RURAL LOCATION, is positioned off a quiet country lane and approached via a long private driveway with pillared entrance. The property, once forming part of the Colwood Manor Estate, dates back, we believe, to the early 1900s and is conveniently situated within an easy drive of local schooling both state and independent, surrounding villages and with quick, easy road access to the A M23.

This period family home, having been in the same family for the past 38 years, comes to the market for the first time since 1987. Prior to their ownership, a 2 STOREY EXTENSION was built to provide a separate dining room with bedroom above, whilst over the years, it has been well maintained and several improvements made.

The accommodation in brief comprises ENCLOSED PORCH into a cosy and particularly spacious RECEPTION HALL with attractive herringbone solid woodblock floor and freestanding woodburning stove. A bright and airy double aspect SITTING ROOM positioned to the front also features a woodburning stove along with a door and small step down into a generously sized LIVING ROOM featuring a beautiful wooden turned staircase rising to BEDROOM 4 with vaulted pine clad ceiling. A separate DINING ROOM sits to the front and benefits from patio doors to front garden while adjacent to the rear, is the KITCHEN fitted with wall and base units, an integrated double oven and electric ceramic hob with spaces for further appliances and door to outside. An INNER LOBBY with Velux roof window has a deep storage cupboard and door to GROUND FLOOR SHOWER ROOM.

From the hall, the main staircase rises FIRST FLOOR LANDING where there are THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS all of which have fitted wardrobes and served by a re fitted FAMILY BATHROOM equipped with a modern white suite with shower over bath.

NB. There is no main gas at the property thus served by oil and electricity only.

OUTSIDE TO THE FRONT is the PRIVATE COMMUNAL ENTRANCE DRIVEWAY and a pretty WEST FACING GARDEN with raised lawn displaying a beautiful specimen Acer tree, bedding borders and central path to front door. Beyond the driveway, opposite the front of the cottage, is the mature and well screened MAIN GARDEN, again with a WESTERLY ASPECT, with SINGLE GARAGE and PRIVATE DRIVEWAY with PARKING FOR ONE VEHICLE IN FRONT. ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR TWO VEHICLES IS AVAILABLE directly outside the cottage. A level lawn is bordered with a deep cottage style bed and further enclosed by wood panelled fencing, mature hedging, trees and shrubs.

TO THE SIDE and REAR is a hardstanding area accessed from the kitchen, comprising a TIMBER SHED, COAL BUNKER, OIL TANK and OUTDOOR BRICK STORE. There is also a pathway leading around to the front.
