Property description
A handsome three double bedroom cottage featuring impressive reception space, two bathrooms and utility. Attractive enclosed gardens and garage. No onward chain and scope for improvement.
Star Cottage is welcomed to the market for the first time in over 30 years and is one of Kilmington's most memorable properties due to its beautiful stone façade and central location within the village. Initially starting its life as two cottages they were knocked through to create a single dwelling and the addition of a two storey extension sometime during the 20th century has created an impressive home with generous accommodation. The property is entered from the roadside via a gable end porch with quarry tiles flooring which leads through into a central reception hall featuring a brick fireplace with lpg fire and doors off to all principal rooms. The property boasts two spacious reception rooms with feature fireplace to include a dual aspect sitting room and formal dining room overlooking the garden. Beyond the dining room is a modern double glazed conservatory which again enjoys a lovely 180 degree view around the garden and access out to a paved seating area. There is a large kitchen fitted with a wide range of units, some integrated appliances and ample space for a further dining table. Adjoining utility room and separate downstairs cloakroom. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, two of which feature fitted storage and furniture, while the master suite features an en suite bathroom with separate shower. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a modern family bathroom which has been upgraded in recent years to include a large shower cubicle, extensive tiling and a traditional linen cupboard. Despite requiring some general updating Star Cottage has been well cared for and includes an oil fired central heating system and extensive double glazed windows and doors.
