Description
Vine Cottage was formerly two Victorian Nailer's cottages which have been beautifully renovated and extended by the current owners to provide a spacious family home. Much of the character of the original cottages has been retained yet stylish and more contemporary additions have been sympathetically added facilitating the perfect blend of old and modern.

The front door has a pitched canopy porch and leads through to the dining room which has a beamed ceiling, the original wooden flooring, bifold doors opening out onto the rear garden and patio and stairs to the first floor. The adjoining triple aspect sitting room has exposed beams, a feature brick fireplace with a slate hearth, wooden mantle and an inset Tiger wood burning stove and the original wooden floor. The dual aspect breakfast kitchen is open to the ceiling and forms part of the more recent extension and is flooded with natural light from four Velux windows and bifold doors out onto the south facing patio. It has an underfloor heated limestone tiled floor, an original exposed feature brick wall and a bespoke range of kitchen units made by Ironbridge Interiors to include both wall and base units with pull out saucepan drawers and wooden vegetable drawers, granite worktops and sills together with a Neff oven and hob, integral Neff dishwasher, recess with Samsung American style fridge and freezer and a black electric two oven Aga. A hallway leads to the cloakroom/utility room which has a limestone tiled floor, stainless steel sink unit and drainer with a mixer tap, recess and plumbing for the usual appliances and wooden worktops over, a white low level wc and the oil fired Worcester central heating boiler. The spacious master bedroom suite is also downstairs and is accessed from the hallway and has a wooden floor, access to a large loft space, two large Velux windows and a luxury en suite shower room with a slate tiled floor and a rainwater shower cubicle.

On the first floor there is a guest bedroom which overlooks the rear garden and has an en suite wet room with a rainwater shower, a vanity unit with two drawers under and an inset wash hand basin and useful wall mounted floating shelves and storage.
