Description

Rose Cottage offers something very rare, a seemingly perfectly usual 3 bedroom semi detached house on Grendon Underwoods Main Street but at the back is a stableyard and about an acre paddock.
The property itself is a modern home, well presented with a small lawned garden. The accommodation begins at the hall where the staircase is found, and a side window. There are floorboards, and said floorboards continue through both reception rooms. In the sitting room is a fireplace and a cast iron woodburning stove, an understairs cupboard and double doors into the dining room, which in turn has double glazed doors, this time to the garden. The dining room opens to the kitchen. Here there are beech units and marble effect worktops incorporating a one and a half bowl sink. Spaces are provided for a cooking range, under counter freezer, a washing machine and dishwasher (plumbing in situ). The tiled floor extends to the large cloakroom and utility room where there are sage coloured units (concealed lighting) and a laminate surface with inset a circular sink. A tall fridge is integrated and at the end of the room is a toilet. A stable door from the kitchen leads to the garage.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, the main bedroom with a contemporary ensuite shower room. On the landing is the airing cupboard and the loft is partially boarded and has a light. The family bathroom comprises a white suite of wc, wash basin and a panelled bath with a telephone style hand held shower attachment.

OUTSIDE
To the front is a patch of grass behind wrought iron railings and steps up to the entrance that is sheltered by a porch canopy.
Down the side is a gravel driveway for 2 vehicles and then the twin doors to the garage. The back of the garage is open to allow easy access to the track. Above the garage is great storage, a floored attic that has lighting.

The aforementioned track is directly off the garden and approximately 100 metres long up to the yard and land beyond. The plan within the brochure hopefully simplifies the set up but ostensibly the neighbouring property also has a yard and land that are served by the same track.
The yard is well organized for equestrian and leisure, for the former there is a stableyard and concrete apron. The stables are timber upon a brick base as is the tack room, and over all this building is a hay loft. Adjoining the stables is a timber machinery store. Mains power, lighting and water are connected to the stables and a triton shower in the tack room supplies hot water.
Across the track is a shed and summerhouse with a decked terrace in between.
The summerhouse internally is timber clad and geared towards entertaining with a double sink, cupboards, worktops, and in essence a kitchen. Mains power, lighting and hot and cold water are again connected.

The block of land is level pasture enclosed by either post and rail or hedging and has a mains fed water trough.

RIGHTS OF WAY
Rose Cottage owns the track which serves the yard and land. The neighbour has a right of way to use this track to access their yard and land.
