BRIEF DESCRIPTION Dating from around 1873, this extended Duke of Sutherland cottage provides spacious living accommodation, blending original character features with modern en-suite living space. This property is configured in such a way that it would be possible to create split the property into the original cottage with attached annex (subject to appropriate consents and approvals) if so required.
Situated adjacent to the now defunct Shrewsbury Canal (now drained), it's possible that this cottage was originally built to serve the coal, lime and iron trade, which utilised the nearby wharf, when it was functioning.
The accommodation now comprises a front door opening into a generous porch, with space for coats and shoes. This opens into the large lounge, having a feature fireplace housing a wood burning stove. To the left is a further reception room with fireplace, which would make an ideal sitting room / snug / playroom or home office. Off the lounge, to the right, is a large conservatory, with views over the gardens.
Off the lounge to the left is the kitchen, fitted with a range of white fronted units to all walls with inset ceramic hob, mid level double oven and space and plumbing provision for a dishwasher. Through the kitchen is the family dining room, a spacious area which will fit a large table as well as sofas etc. Off the dining room is a generous utility room, with cloakroom/WC.
Two sets of stairs lead to the first floor, the original property stairs rise from the lounge to a landing, off which is the refitted bathroom, having both bath and separate shower, with WC and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. This part of the house is finished with two bedrooms. Off the dining room is a second staircase leading to the first floor, where there is a guest bedroom having a modern en-suite shower room.
Outside, the property has a driveway leading to the garage with wood shed behind. The extensive gardens wrap around the house and are laid mainly to lawn, with patio seating space, fruit trees and herb garden.
