About the property

***WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR*** Nestled in the sought-after residential area of Downton, Grey Cottage is a charming period home that effortlessly combines characterful features with modern touches. This delightful two-bedroom property boasts a welcoming and functional layout, ideal for a variety of lifestyles.

Entering through the storm porch and solid wood front door, you are greeted by the cosy sitting room, where an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner takes centre stage. This inviting space also features a fitted decorative storage bench with an integrated coat rack and a window to the front, adding practicality and charm. From the sitting room, step into the inner hall. The inner hall serves as a central hub, providing access to the kitchen, the stairs to the first floor, and a versatile space beneath the stairs that could function as additional storage or a compact study area.

The kitchen is a highlight of the home, featuring beautiful stone-tiled flooring, bespoke base units, and a blend of granite and solid wood worktops. An inset porcelain-style sink complements the country-inspired design, while there is ample space for a range-style gas cooker and a full-height fridge freezer. Beyond the kitchen lies the sunroom/dining room. This brick-built space, with a Perspex corrugated roof and windows on all sides, is bathed in natural light and provides a wonderful family or entertaining area. The room opens directly onto the garden, making it ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The split-level landing on the first floor leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a generously sized room with a charming red brick fireplace and a window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom two is also a spacious double room, featuring a window to the front. The family bathroom is finished to a modern standard and includes a bath with a mains mixer shower and stylish central concealed water flow, a hand wash basin, and a WC. A window to the rear ensures the space is light and airy.

The rear garden is extensive and thoughtfully designed. A patio area directly behind the house provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, stretching to a rustic decked area at the far end. A large storage shed sits beyond the decking, adding practical utility. The garden is fully enclosed and East-facing, ideal for enjoying the morning sun.

Grey Cottage offers the perfect combination of period charm, thoughtful design, and a desirable location.
