Description Having been enjoyed by the current owners as their family home for the past 61 years, the sale of Dormer Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire an truly exceptional residence. Individually designed and constructed in 1937 this imposing double fronted property features an array of notable architectural details such as the oak front gable with matching dormers to either side and open porch below. Set within a wonderfully mature south facing 0.675 acre plot with delightful gardens, Dormer Cottage enjoys favoured positioning. Approached along a sweeping York stone driveway, the property is set back from the road screened by established hedging. Although the property would benefit from a program of modernisation, it is impeccably maintained and ready for immediate occupation, offered for sale with no onward chain. The property retains a wealth of original period features such as fireplaces, servant bell system, oak beams, doors and flooring. There is tremendous potential for extension (subject to the relevant consents) with a precedent already set by many other properties on the road. Entered through the original oak front door the entrance hall with oak flooring and spindle staircase to the first floor provides a lasting first impression. Immediately off to the right of the hall is the morning room with solid fuel Rayburn. This leads through to the fitted kitchen which in turn links the utility room and garaging. There are three reception rooms all of which feature open fires; a spacious dining room, a snug and an impressive triple aspect living room with open fire, oak beamed surround and French doors onto the gardens. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a w.c. and cloaks cupboard both off the hall.

To the first floor the generously proportioned split level galleried landing allows for a reading area or open plan study. There are 3 dual aspect double bedrooms, all of which feature original fireplaces and a fourth single bedroom. This floor is served by a family bathroom with shower over bath and a separate w.c. Off the landing there is a box room and a cupboard which provide useful storage.

Dormer Cottage is set within delightful south facing gardens which are mainly laid to lawn and enjoy a high degree of privacy. A York stone patio adjoining the living room veranda provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. The fully enclosed gardens feature well stocked borders whilst established beech hedging, mature trees and rhododendrons provide an attractive backdrop. A York stone driveway to the front offers ample off road parking and leads to the oversized 450 Sq Ft double garage. There is a fully boarded attic space with lighting above the garage offering excellent storage and great potential for conversion to additional accommodation if required.
