Description

A rare opportunity to purchase a delightful two bedroom end of

terrace cottage, situated in the most wonderful rural location

close to Oakhill. Enjoying a countryside outlook to the front and

rear, the property is presented in good order throughout and

offers well-proportioned living accommodation including two

double bedrooms, study/nursery and two separate reception

rooms. In addition, there is a fabulous, well-stocked rear garden

backing onto fields and a very pleasant stream, complete with a

superb, newly built timber cabin/studio.

Steeds Terrace has an intriguing history, dating back to around

the turn of the 20th Century. Number four was once the home

and workplace of Mr Steed, a well-known local toolmaker who

made garden tools in his potting shed. As the business grew, so

did Steeds Terrace, now comprising four terrace cottages.

On entering the property, there is a timber framed porch with

internal door opening into the sitting room. Neutrally decorated

with open staircase and exposed brick fireplace with inset multi-

fuel burner installed in 2016., the sitting room then opens into

both the kitchen and an additional reception room, a superb

room with shelved recesses, an opening to the kitchen and

window to the front. Located at the rear of the property is a 25'

kitchen / dining room, fitted with a range of matching modern

floor and wall units, solid wood work surface and including a tiled floor, inset double Belfast sink unit with stainless steel mixer

taps and internal door into the garage. To one side of the kitchen

is a dining area with large picture window overlooking the garden

and countryside beyond.

On the first floor, either side of the landing are two good size

double bedrooms, one of which is dual aspect with built in

wardrobes to one wall. In addition, there is a separate study,

which could also be used as a nursery or dressing room. The

family bathroom is fitted with a matching white suite comprising

panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin, low

level WC, heated towel rail and incorporates a built in airing

cupboard.

Outside

To the side of the property is a gated driveway, providing parking

for one vehicle. There is further on-road parking available in front

of the property. The driveway leads to a generous size adjoining

garage (21'5'' x 8'8'') which has double doors, light, power, door

into the kitchen and window.

On of the main selling points of this lovely property is the

fabulous rear garden, which is landscaped and well-stocked with

a variety of mature trees, plants and shrubs and enclosed by

fencing. At the foot of the garden, there is a large section laid to

stone chippings, providing an ideal seating area, backing onto a

stream which flows past the property. Within the garden, there is

a superb newly built timber cabin, with power, which can be

used in a variety of uses including a studio, home office, gym or

games room. Also included within the garden is an outside WC

and gated side access to the front of the property.
