Description: 11 Fairglen Cottages is a very pretty late Victorian terraced cottage with external elevations of painted brick beneath a slate tiled roof and double-glazed windows and doors throughout. The property has been sympathetically updated providing light and well proportioned accommodation and retaining a number of period features.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes on the ground floor, a sitting room, which has a double-glazed sash window to the front overlooking the lane, exposed floorboards (which continue through to the dining room) and an attractive open fireplace. The sitting room leads into the dining room, which has a double-glazed sash window to the rear overlooking the garden, a feature fireplace and is open plan to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of white shaker style base units with rustic solid wood worksurfaces and integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a small hallway with a door leading out to the garden, storage cupboard and a utility area which leads to a well-appointed cloakroom/shower room. Stairs from the dining room lead to the first floor, which provides two double bedrooms - the main bedroom overlooking the garden and having built in wardrobes and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook to the front over the lane, adjoining woodland, and countryside.
Outside, to the front is a pretty area of front garden with plenty of parking available on the lane. The attractive rear garden has been designed for easy maintenance with a gravel area at the rear of the cottage, ideal for outdoor entertaining and having plenty of space for pots, and beyond is the main garden, which has a path with wood chippings and slate beds leading to the top of the garden, where there is a summer house enjoying views of the countryside beyond.
