The Property
Built in 1916 reputedly as one of a pair of cottages for the gardener and chauffer of Orient Lodge , this charming cottage has been sympathetically extended and modernised in the early 1990 s, whilst leaving scope for further development should one wish. The property is set back from the road, accessed via a driveway shared only with next door, which leads to its own private parking. Externally, this property has a rendered fa ade and pretty multipaned casement windows which sit under a tiled roof. Internally, the cottage has been well maintained and is charming in its presentation. The study family room enjoys the front aspect, as does the sitting room which has a wood burner. Beyond this room is the kitchen which is fitted with a range of cream shaker style units and the adjacent dining room has French doors opening into the garden. The inner hallway has a wide staircase rising to the first floor with cupboard below, and the lobby has a stable door opening to the rear garden. The first floor has three double bedrooms, the largest having a rear aspect and an alcove which currently makes an excellent dressing area but also has the potential for an ensuite. There is also a well proportioned bathroom and a large walk in storage cupboard. To the front of the property there is off road parking for several vehicles and the rear garden measures in excess of 140 ft and is enclosed by mature hedging, mainly laid to lawn with two apple trees and two garden sheds.
