3 bed cottage for sale

Front Street, Birstall LE4

Detailed Description

Fair-Way Properties are delighted to bring to the market 5-7 Front Street, a characterful village home, which was originally two separate cottages and has now been converted into a single family home. Its traditional frontage gives little indication of the generous accommodation and a delightful, secluded garden behind. The current family have resided in the property since it was built. The house retains the period character and features expected of such a property, including exposed beams and wrought iron latches and hinges whilst having comfortable proportions. The front door opens into an entrance hall which in turn leads to the integral garage and the dining room. Off of the dining room is the main living room and a hallway that provides access to the kitchen, downstairs WC, and the dog leg stairs case that leads to the first floor. On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Off of the main bedroom is an ensuite shower room and an additional room which could be used as either a large dressing room, an office, a nursery, or a further bedroom. Outside, the garden is beautifully presented which is predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of plants and shrubs and screened by mature trees, making it feel remarkably private for such a central village setting. The garden also benefits from a wooden summer house hidden within the trees and bushes, and 2 brick-built storage areas attached to the rear of the tandem garage.
