Description
A period two bedroom end of terrace cottage with three reception areas, off street parking, a garage and front garden in a village location. At the heart of Sideways Cottage is a 17th Century timber framed cottage, where the Tudor structure, inglenook fireplace and many other period features have been restored and revealed. A substantial extension to the ground floor opens out to a South-West facing cottage garden. Like many of the original houses in Dadford, the cottage was once part of the Duke of Buckingham's Stowe Estate, and still retains a strong connection, being part of the Parish of Stowe and a short walk along a bridleway to the National Trust's Stowe Gardens.
The cottage has a combined 1,253 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there is a conservatory, office/hobby area, a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting/dining room, a utility room and a four piece bathroom. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one with a fitted wardrobe and a cloakroom.
Ground Floor The principal reception room is an open plan sitting/dining room measuring in excess of 29 ft. in length. Both areas have exposed beams and the sitting area has a feature inglenook fireplace with a Bessemer beam above and a wood burner inset. The kitchen, with a window into the conservatory, has a range of base and wall mounted units, space for appliances and a breakfast area. There is an office/hobby area in the centre of the property with partial timber panelling, and a conservatory with a stone plinth overlooking the front garden.
Bedrooms and Bathroom Both bedrooms are located on the first floor, with windows over the side, they are double in size with pitched ceilings and have exposed structural beams. One has a fitted wardrobe and both share a cloakroom accessed from the landing. The main bathroom is a four piece suite with a separate bath and a shower cubicle located on the ground floor.
