"An incredibly charming mid terraced cottage which has recently undergone full refurbishment, whilst retaining traditional features throughout. The property has the benefit of oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout, along with front and rear courtyard which could be utilised for off road parking.

The property is a beautifully renovated cottage, located in the idyllic village of Mickleton. Benefiting from two bedrooms, with additional converted loft space, and a courtyard to the rear which could be used for off road parking, the property would suit a variety of purchasers.

A UPVC entrance door with patterned privacy glass panels leads into the entrance hall, which has stairs leading up to the first floor, space for storing coats and shoes, and a solid oak door leading into the living room.

The living room has beautiful traditional exposed beams to the ceiling, an oak mantle set above an inglenook housing a multi fuel stove, upon a black granite hearth. The traditional style sash window allows for a bright and open space.

The kitchen is located to the rear of the property, and is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted shaker style units, with wood effect worktops. There is an integrated fridge and freezer, an electric oven, four ring hob with an extractor fan over, and an under counter void for a washing machine. The white composite sink and drainer, with copper mixer tap, is positioned in front of the window to enjoy views of the rear courtyard and allows for a light and welcoming atmosphere. A breakfast bar provides space for informal dining.

There is a downstairs W C with a wash hand basin, and a spacious and useful understairs storage cupboard which is accessed from the kitchen.

Returning to the entrance hallway, stairs rise to the first floor accommodation, with a spacious landing. The master bedroom is located to the front of the property, and benefits from stunning views of the surrounding countryside from the traditional style double glazed sash windows.

Grey marble effect shower boarding provide a modern finish to the walls, with a floor standing traditional heated towel rail, spotlights overhead, and a frosted window.
