Description

"A unique, large five bedroom detached dormer bungalow with nearly 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, riverside location, stunning high town views, an important historic connection and versatile accommodation ideal for a family with a dependent or independent relative and possibly suitable for a variety of uses subject to the usual planning constraints.

Approached via Bandon Lane or Doctors Lane, Foundry Cottage has two driveways with parking for four vehicles. The entrance porch provides access to a large central hallway that in turn provides access to all of the principle ground floor rooms, including a huge living dining room of nearly 30 in length, with log burner, which in turn opens, via double opening patio doors to a large L shaped conservatory overlooking the garden and complete with whirlpool spa! Off the Living dining room is a generously proportioned breakfast kitchen with contrasting coloured wall and floor mounted cupboards and drawers providing a wealth of storage. Sure to be of interest to a family is the games room currently fitted with a bar and housing our clients pool table, dart board and juke box; this room in close proximity to the front door could be utilised as some form of business or consulting room with minimum disruption to the rest of the house or alternately, given that it is alongside a large bathroom with freestanding roll top bath and separate shower cubicle, it could be utilised as bedroom six; a double bedroom for a less mobile dependent relative or alternately for a teenager seeking some independence. Two further double bedrooms are off the central hall way, one of which has an en suite, and generous wardrobe storage. The ground floor ancillary accommodation also includes a good size utility room, a storage cloaks boot room, airing cupboard and store cupboard. On the first floor, the generously proportioned principle bedroom has both a dormer window overlooking the garden and an en suite shower room. There is a further double bedroom and a single bedroom, currently utilised as an office study. The interpretation of the use of space of this most versatile property offers many opportunities. To get an exciting insight into the accommodation on offer please take a look at the many photographs online and the virtual tour; you will not fail to be impressed with the space.

The enclosed, wrap around garden, accessed from either the conservatory or side gates from the driveways feature numerous sitting out areas with stunning views of the townscape, well stocked borders of mature shrubs, an ornamental pond and both low maintenance gravelled area and a shaped lawn. There are two garden sheds for storage plus two wood storage sheds.

Foundry Cottage is based on the historic site of John Hazeldine s foundry which played an important part in industrial and locomotive history. It was on this site that the engineer, Richard Trevithick s "Catch me who can" steam locomotive was built in 1808, the three earlier versions were used at Coalbrookdale, Penydarren ironworks and Wylam colliery. "Catch me who can" became the first locomotive to carry fare paying passengers when it was demonstrated to the public at "Trevithick s Steam Circus" where it pulled a small number of carriages carrying fare paying passengers on a circular track of approximately 100 in diameter at reported speeds of between 12 and 15 miles per hour in Bloomsbury, London, at a site near to the Euston underground station of today. "Catch me who can" was the forerunner to Stephenson s "Rocket" which twenty years later was trialled at Rainhill.
