The Property
Bells Corner Cottage is one of two, attractive cottages situated on the edge of Hinderclay village. Dating back to 1897, the cottage is constructed of traditional bricks, under a pitched tiled roof. In recent years the cottage has been overhauled, updated and extended offering immaculate, flexible accommodation.On entering, the front door opens into the well presented sitting room. The feature of the room is the red brick open fireplace and hearth, fully working and often used by the current vendors creating a cozy front room. The dining room is of great size and provides access to the kitchen and stairwell up to the first floor. A patio door has been installed to provide access into the side courtyard style garden. The kitchen has recently been refitted and comprises shaker style, soft closing wall and base units. The units have varnished wooden work surfaces, with a built in ceramic 1½ bowl sink. The kitchen provides plenty of space for appliances including space for a fridge/freezer, free-standing oven and a dishwasher. To the side of the kitchen is a large pantry cupboard and a separate storage cupboard. A doorway leads from the kitchen and into the extended hallway. The L-shaped hall provides access to the bathroom, shower room, garage and study. In addition, the hall provides access to the front garden, rear garden and has a small utility area for a tumble dryer and washing machine. The first bathroom is the original and has been refitted with a stylish modern suite with boxed panelled surround. A free standing oval bath will immediately catch your eye as you enter with the Victorian style sink and WC located behind the door. The shower room is located next door and comprises a low level wc, large shower cubicle and a inset hand wash basin. The hand wash basin is set into a vanity unit with a storage cupboard beneath. The suite is set upon large black ceramic tiles and furthermore, there is a heated towel rail and radiator. At the end of the hallway is the study/home office which could be used as a downstairs single bedroom. Up to the first floor are the three bedrooms. The largest double bedroom is situated to the front of the property with the two smaller bedrooms to the rear. The second largest bedroom accommodates the airing cupboard which has a brand new water cylinder. Due to the layout of the accommodation, the property would lend itself for the creation of an annexe (subject to relevant planning consents) incorporating the garage, study, utility and shower room.
Outside
The majority of the garden lies to the front of the property and in total the plot extends to 0.156 acres (sts). A long shingle driveway splits the front garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and provides ample car parking space leading up to the single garage 18' x 9'. To the front boundary are a number of trees/shrubs, providing privacy from the road. The rear garden can be accessed down the side of the garage. This garden is mainly lawned with flower and shrub borders, offering a great degree of seclusion and privacy.
Location
Set back from the road and sheltered by mature trees and shrubs, the property is wonderfully situated and is close to the village centre of Hinderclay.
