    About this property

    • 12 West Cross is a delightful detached timber framed cottage understood to date in part from circa 1850 when it was original built as the gardener's cottage to one of the nearby town houses. The current owners have imaginatively extended, remodelled and renovated the property using a combination of both new and reclaimed materials, to create an interesting and energy efficient home.

      The accommodation comprises an entrance hall featuring an impressive sealed unit multi paned window overlooking the well screened cottage garden and a reclaimed curved French oak staircase rising up to the first floor. In the oldest part of the cottage is the sitting room with a Burley wood burning stove, this room opens through to an adjoining study. There is also a well proportioned dining room with French doors opening to the garden.

      The light and airy vaulted kitchen/breakfast/family room is an excellent family space, with various fitted cupboards, (some freestanding cupboards are available by separate negotiation). There is space for a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. To one end there is a Burley wood burning stove and doors open to the garden, to other there is access to utility room/side hall.

      Over the remainder of the ground floor there is a dual aspect guest bedroom with an en suite wet room and a separate WC.

      On the first floor are two bedrooms including the main bedroom having painted floorboards and an en suite bathroom with roll top bath. There is a further bathroom with slipper bath.

      The pretty part walled garden is well screened and planted with wisteria, lilac and an array of seasonal perennials and shrubs and mature climbers.
