" Behind the sandstone wall and the substantial hedge and standing on the corner of Parrs Road and Birch Road is an appealing sandstone cottage with both pretty gardens and, quite unusually for Oxton Village, secure off road parking for 2 cars to the rear of the plot.

Such is the size of the plot, that this cottage which has quite recently been extended to the ground floor, still retains good sized south facing 'cottage gardens' surrounding the property on three sides. Once inside the grounds, as it were, you'll also notice how private it is too. Open aspect views Of course you don't need to stand outside to appreciate the gardens for there's a view from most rooms; especially the ground floor rooms. The dining quarters, for example, looks both to the south and south west with the smaller of the two windows having a lintel above to take a pair of french doors ( a future project; perhaps opening onto a conservatory which would actually sit comfortably on the return between here and the bathroom). Light, warm & welcoming Rare in fact to talk about a cottage in the village that does actually have three reception rooms. And each room has its focal point, or two. Take the dining room area for example. Apart from the views, the open plan nature of this space together with the kitchen makes for an engaging combination. Guests sit, you prepare a meal, both converse. The kitchen itself is in keeping with cottage in its style and finish and comes with the relevant brushed steel cooking appliances. Three in one The rear living room also has a number of 'features'; not least the clear view wood burning stove set within a sandstone fireplace. And without the fire roaring there's still a warm feeling to the room from the attractive rich polished wood effect flooring. And finally, take a seat in the alcove below the staircase for from here there's a perfect view towards The Arno through the french doors to the sandstone patio.

The front living room has an exposed sandstone chimney breast with gas fire and a deeply recessed wood panelled window looking out onto mature trees. The bathroom is at ground floor. It comes with plenty of space. It's recently refurbished and it's fresh, bright and white. At first floor are two good double bedrooms, both with deeply recessed wood panelled windows. At this point we'd point out the gas central heating system runs both at ground and first floor levels and that the windows are, in the majority, of a hardwood and sealed unit double glazed finish. Outdoors Back outside and to tell you our garden loving client has frequently been invited to open his gardens to the Oxton Garden Festival might give you some idea as to the element of colour, interest and all round 'attractiveness' this south facing garden has to offer. Granite sett and sandstone paving add further distinctiveness. Summary Of course cottages do come in all shapes and sizes (mostly size: small), even for Oxton Village it's quite rare to find one such as this: Ample south facing garden space, off road parking, opportunities to make bigger, three very different living rooms and two perfect double sized bedrooms. Locator Take the car off the drive and onto Birch Road giving you a quick dart either way: to the tunnel (10 mins) or the motorway (5mins). Alternatively leave the car on the drive and walk up and around Parrs into Arno (right) or Hughes Lane (left) and either way be in the centre of the village on foot in 5 to 6.
