Swindon Cottage, High Street, Swindon DY3

This charming character cottage is situated in the centre of Swindon, just a stone's throw from the village convenience store, pubs and Staffordshire-Worcestershire Canal, providing picturesque rural surroundings popular with walkers, anglers, cyclists and boaters.

Swindon Cottage dates from 1882 and provides surprisingly spacious split-level accommodation over three floors to include four bedrooms and a converted loft room, with two living rooms, kitchen, utility room & guest cloakroom together with a low maintenance patio garden enjoying a sheltered and sunny aspect.

Set back behind a driveway with larger than average integral garage, the hallway leads through to steps up to the kitchen area, fitted with a contemporary range of sage cabinets with complementary work surfaces providing breakfast bar with two inset ceramic hobs plus integral Belfast sink, Whirlpool microwave, Hotpoint electric double oven and full height corner larder unit with four-tier carousel shelves.

The ceramic floor tiles and conservatory-style part-glazed roof makes this a light and airy space, with double doors out to the patio garden and further double doors leading through to the utility room.

Continuing through with the same ceramic floor tiling and sage cabinets, the utility room has a work surface with inset sink and under-counter concealed washing machine, tumble dryer & dishwasher.

A further door opens to the guest cloakroom with WC and vanity unit incorporating hand basin with cabinet below.

Also off the kitchen is a dining room or sitting room with log burner on quarry tiled hearth, whilst to the front of the property is a well proportioned 17' lounge, again with log burner set on a tiled hearth within a decorative wooden surround.

A split staircase separates the master bedroom suite from the other bedrooms and family bathroom, with the principal bedroom having windows front and rear as well as ladder access to a converted loft room providing valuable additional storage space.

The ensuite bathroom features wall & floor tiling, a clawfoot bath, pedestal hand basin, wc and corner cubicle with mixer shower,

A separate landing gives access to the spacious second bedroom, fourth bedroom (ideal for use as a study) and family bathroom which also features a clawfoot bath, pedestal hand basin, wc and linen cupboard.

From this landing there is an additional flight of stairs up to a second floor double bedroom, with gable end window enjoying views to the surrounding countryside.

The rear garden features a block-paved patio garden, ideal for entertaining and enjoying a sheltered and sunny aspect.

Swindon is situated between Wombourne and Kingswinford, ideally located for commuters to the West Midlands conurbation, yet retaining a distinct country village feel with primary school, two traditional pubs, a convenience store, beauty salon, fish & chips shop and community centre. There are numerous scenic walks close at hand and Swindon Cottage is sure to appeal to anyone seeking a change of lifestyle with all that village life has to offer.
