Full Details

Grange Cottage is an attractive Grade II listed home that has been lovingly restored and refurbished by the current owners. Constructed of brick beneath a tiled roof, the property is rich in period charm and character, with beautiful sash windows throughout, flooding the rooms with natural light.

Entering through the stable door, the welcoming hallway leads to a generously proportioned boot room. Featuring panelled walls, built-in storage, wood flooring and a striking inglenook fireplace (currently unused), this versatile room could equally serve as an excellent home office or study.

The cosy sitting room enjoys an open feel thanks to a half-height wall connecting it to the hallway. It offers further period features including an unused inglenook fireplace and built-in storage and provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor.

The playroom or snug is another pretty reception space, complete with a fireplace, built-in storage and sisal carpeting as well as access to the staircase. A well-appointed cloakroom features panelled walls, a Victorian-style wash basin and WC.

The cellar has also been renovated and is currently used as a useful utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine.

The heart of the home is the impressive family kitchen and dining room. The shaker-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units beneath quartz worktops and includes integrated dishwasher and bin storage, a Belfast sink, electric range cooker and space for an American-style fridge freezer. Two traditional larders provide excellent additional storage. A substantial central island forms an attractive focal point and offers informal seating with bar stools.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a large family dining table and benefits from built-in bookshelves, while the adjoining family room has fully opening, bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond. French doors from the kitchen also provide direct access to the terrace, creating an ideal space for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms comprising three generous doubles and a well-proportioned single bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and a luxurious en-suite shower room with twin wash basins. A stylish family bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring attractive tiled walls and flooring.

Throughout the property, the elegant sash windows and tasteful décor enhance both the character and charm of this lovely home.
