Property description
The name itself whispers of a storied past, conjuring images of history woven into every stone and beam of this Grade II listed home. As you approach, the Virginia creeper, twining gracefully around the doorway, adds a touch of romance to the scene.
The stone steps, worn smooth by centuries of footsteps, bear a built-in boot scraper—a nod to the pragmatic elegance of a bygone era, perfect for those returning from a leisurely stroll through the nearby Abbey Fields. The current owners have enhanced the property's efficiency by installing additional double-glazed windows, while also adding a touch of character with the installation of traditional oak doors throughout the home.
The entrance presents you with a choice: The, inviting front door or the more practical side access, ideal for days when you've been exploring the countryside and need to shed the remnants of your adventure. Stepping inside, you're immediately embraced by the warmth of this home. The hallway, with its charming tiled floors, guides you towards the heart of the house. The living room beckons with its Inglenook fireplace, a cozy refuge where you can lose yourself in a good book as the flames dance merrily. Original oak beams stretch across the ceiling, and wooden floors creak softly underfoot, each step echoing with the history of this place. The bay window, a portal to the outside world, floods the room with natural light, highlighting the rustic charm that permeates every corner. Adjacent to the living room is another versatile reception room. Whether you envision it as a dining area or a snug, this space offers flexibility to suit your lifestyle. The kitchen, with its exposed brickwork and cream wooden units, exudes a cottage-like warmth. The oak worktops, a tactile delight, invite you to linger over morning coffee or prepare a family meal. A large window frames a view of the walled garden, a private sanctuary where children and pets can play under your watchful eye.
The ground floor also boasts a practical cloakroom area, a guest toilet, and a spacious utility room, ensuring that modern conveniences are not sacrificed in this historic home.
As you ascend the staircase, your hand gliding along the traditional oak balustrades, the sheer size of the bedrooms reveals itself. The first floor hosts three generous double bedrooms, each one a potential master, depending on your preference. The natural light continues to play its part, filling each room with a soft, welcoming glow. A family bathroom on this floor, along with a handy dressing room, ensures that everything you need is close at hand.
The second floor continues to impress with three additional bedrooms. One of these rooms offers a stunning rooftop view of New Street, a reminder of the vibrant town that lies just beyond your doorstep. Another bathroom on this floor provides convenience and comfort.
Stepping outside, the walled garden feels like a secret oasis, a peaceful retreat in the heart of the town. Split into two sections with a charming archway, the garden defies its townhouse roots, offering space and serenity in equal measure.
While the historic nature of Burnt Cottage means that parking wasn't a primary consideration during its original construction, this home accommodates modern needs with a garage located just across the road. Additionally, two parking permits grant you access to the Abbey Fields car park, ensuring your vehicles are always nearby.
