Description
Dating back to the pre-1900s, this former dye-works cottage has been lovingly and expertly renovated to create a truly unique and wonderful home. Retaining its historical charm, the property has undergone a thoughtful transformation, combining period features with modern comforts. The current owner has carefully upgraded all the windows, kitchen, and bathroom to a high standard, enhancing the cottage’s functionality without compromising its character. One of the standout features of the renovation is the exposed stone wall, which adds a rustic and timeless element to the living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Stepping through the front door of this beautifully renovated cottage, you are welcomed into a hallway laid with Manor half Hones limestone flagstones, a striking feature that continues throughout the ground floor. The main reception room is a bright, bay-windowed lounge, offering an inviting space filled with natural light, complemented by a multi-fuel stove inset within an exposed stone wall. The lounge seamlessly flows through to the adjoining Atlantis designed kitchen/diner. The kitchen features a combination of white and dark blue storage cupboards, paired with a complementary Silestone worktop. The worktop is fitted with a stainless steel sink drainer and mixer tap, with views over the River Kent, while the kitchen also comes equipped with a four-ring gas hob, electric oven/grill, microwave, fridge, freezer, and washing machine, all integrated seamlessly within the units for a streamlined and modern finish. Additionally, a convenient storage cupboard beneath the stairs offers extra space to keep the home organized and clutter-free.
Upstairs, on the first floor, a landing area provides access to the master bedroom, home office, and bathroom, as well as a fitted cupboard offering shelving for towels, linen, and toiletries. The master bedroom, located at the front of the property, enjoys beautiful views across to the Bowling Green and Serpentine Woods. The room is complemented by a fitted wardrobe, with plenty of space around it for freestanding drawers or additional storage.
The bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with a contemporary three-piece suite, including a bath with both a handheld and rainfall shower, a WC, and a pedestal wash hand basin. The home office is a versatile room, ideal for working from home, but could also easily be adapted for a variety of uses, such as a craft room, playroom, or study. Stairs lead up to the developed loft room, a spacious double bedroom offering flexible use as a guest room or a hobby room. This room also provides access to eaves storage, perfect for stowing away seasonal items.
Outside, to the front of the property, you'll find a flagged courtyard patio, perfect for alfresco dining or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. Set slightly away from the main house, there is a large flagged patio, offering additional outdoor space for entertaining or parking. This area provides access to a private coal store and a former wash house, both of which offer generous storage options for bikes, outdoor gear, or garden tools.
