Waterside Cottage is the epitome of a ‘chocolate box’ cottage in the heart of the quaint village of Crawley. A stone path crosses the pretty brook through the gates into this delightful home which is beautifully presented throughout. An abundance of characterful features run throughout this Grade II Listed cottage and include exposed stone, beams, stone tiled floor, quarry tiling, fireplace with stove, and ledge and brace doors with ornate latches. A dual aspect sitting room is set around a fireplace with stove, the perfect spot for relaxing. The Aga kitchen/breakfast room is a real delight with a wide range of cottage style units, wood worktops, Butler sink, and a double opening pantry cupboard with pan storage is a super feature. The island with breakfast bar offers the option of a quick meal, but with the additional recessed bench sit set within an original doorway it creates space for the family to gather. The more formal dining room has an ornate cast iron fireplace and leads through to the utility room, door to garden and ornately decorated WC.
A turned staircase leads to the first floor with the principal bedroom having a dual aspect, superb feature stone fireplace and built in wardrobe. The second bedroom is double in size again with built-in cupboard and wardrobe. The bathroom has a stand-alone bath, ornate fittings and chic decor. A further turned staircase with attractive stone walling leads to the second floor bedroom.
Attractive stone walling encloses the westerly facing lawn which is bound by a host of flowers and shrubs, and the paved seating area is just the place to enjoy some alfresco entertaining. Overall, this truly stunning cottage is a wonderful family home but would equally serve as a weekend retreat in this picturesque location.
