Description

Clematis Cottage is an attached Victorian stone-built home, beautifully positioned in the sought after village of Maugersbury near the end of a quiet no through road. The current owners have overseen an impressive programme of high specification improvements, creating a stylish and luxurious cottage finished in a soft, calming palette that enhances the light and airy feel throughout. Many rooms feature bespoke shutters, and the sitting room and hallway are laid with engineered oak flooring. There are rustic solid oak internal doors throughout, and feature roof timbers to the ground floor.

The property is entered via a glazed roof entrance porch leading into a stunning kitchen/dining room fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, marble worktops and a Belfast sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, Neff dishwasher, and fan assisted electric oven and hob. The spacious dining area easily accommodates a large table and chairs.

A hallway leads through to a triple aspect sitting room, featuring a large west facing picture window overlooking the terrace, and an open fireplace housing a wood burning stove.

Upstairs are two generous south facing double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, complemented by two beautifully refurbished contemporary shower rooms; one with a large walk-in shower and the other with a double walk-in shower.

A pillared gated entrance opens to gravel parking, including a useful timber garden store. Please refer to the Agent’s Note.

Outside, the landscaped multi-level, wrap around courtyard garden has been thoughtfully planted and provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining.

Rich in period character, Clematis Cottage will appeal to a wide range of buyers, including owner occupiers, investors and those seeking an elegant second home.
