This Grade II, flint and brick property is complimented by a charming and mature garden to the rear. The present owner has upgraded the property adding a fully fitted kitchen, recessed ceiling lighting and oak flooring throughout the ground floor, wood burner and wooden shutters to all windows. The property offers as a boutique B&B at present with B&B clients having access to a well- appointed suite without impinging on the private quarters of the owner. We understand that the web site for the B&B is also included in the guide price should the purchaser/s wish to continue this small and successful business.
A light and spacious entrance hall leads (at the rear of the hallway) through to the B&B suite with en-suite bathroom. This cheerful, double aspect room is fully carpeted, with fitted cupboards, TV point and integral refrigerator. There is also a separate guest WC off the hallway. Glass doors open unto an inner hallway in the main part of the cottage with beautiful stone fireplace, wooden flooring and fitted bookcase. From here you enter the large, double aspect drawing room with recessed fireplace, log burner, fitted shelving, wooden flooring, windows to front and rear and French doors opening unto a charming patio area – which in turn leads directly to the garden. From the drawing room, double glass doors lead to the dining room which also has doors leading onto the patio – ideal for al fresco dining. Further double glass doors lead into the pretty white and blue kitchen with recessed skylight above the table area, a generous range of wall and floor units, American refrigerator/freezer, AEG oven and Induction hob. There is a separate utility area which houses another WC, sink and storage area.
Upstairs there are three further good sized bedrooms – one presently converted to form an office with fitted storage, bookcase and desk unit. This room could easily be converted back to a fourth bedroom if required. There are fitted cupboards in both of the remaining bedrooms, fitted carpets throughout and wooden shutters on all windows. The family bathroom overlooks the garden and is fitted with bath, power shower, WC and cupboards. It is of note that the outlook, from both upper and lower windows of Rose Cottage, is exceptionally attractive in all aspects – revealing surrounding period cottages and the famous Levin Down to the rear and side of the house. Gardens The generous, fully enclosed, garden to the rear of Rose Cottage has several mature, well stocked rose beds, a range of interesting and mature trees including a central apple tree, vegetable area, two garden sheds and a glazed sun room. There is an adjoining tiled patio area through a small picket fence encircled by a mature, and we are told, a very productive, grape vine.
There is off road parking to the front of the property which is partially covered in the warmer months by climbing roses and a mature wisteria.
