About this property
Located along a private lane in the popular village of Bentley, Anchor Cottage is a pretty semi-detached Victorian cottage built in 1840 offering a purchaser the opportunity to further enhance to their own requirements and also benefitting from established cottage-style gardens.
Offering a good level of light throughout, the property is entered through the front door into a porch with a further door leading into the twin aspect living/dining room with a central fireplace being open on two sides, creating a divide between the areas.
Beyond the dining room is the rear hall with a dog leg staircase to the first floor. The generously sized galley-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units, tiled work tops, 2-burner gas fired Rayburn and parquet flooring. A side door leads into a utility space with understair storage and space for a washing machine, a further room which was originally the wash house is now an office/store with a wood panelled ceiling and a small cloakroom.
On the first floor the landing leads to Bedroom 1 with double aspect windows and built-in wardrobes, Bedroom Two benefits from fitted wardrobes, a sink unit and a built-in shower and Bedroom Three comprises a vanity unit with sink and an airing cupboard behind sliding doors. The family bathroom is part-tiled with panelled bath, vanity unit, sink unit and low level wc.
The front garden is accessed from Link Lane and set behind an established hedge being lawned with an abundance of flower and shrub borders with a covered well which once served the former wash house. A path to the rear garden passes through a pretty brick archway to the delightful south-facing rear garden with an array of plants and shrubs together with a large patio, summerhouse and garden shed. A further area to the far end of the garden was formerly a vegetable garden. A double garage is located to the side with access over a shared drive from Station Rd, where path leads along the side to the rear patio and gardens.
