Hayloft Cottage, Wennington, LA2

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Hayloft Cottage:

1. Location, location, location - a small farmstead setting of five properties offering both privacy as well as neighbours for security, support and social gatherings. Back Lane is a hidden gem - don't spread the word! Residents love the fact that it's not a short cut to anywhere and so remains quiet and peaceful.

2. An attractive, mid terraced stone and slate barn conversion - converted in 1999/2000 and purchased as new by the current owners, the well-proportioned accommodation is set over two floors with a gross internal area of c. 1224 sq ft (113.7 sq m), some original features (ceiling beams and window lintels) as well as well-maintained, sociable and light spaces.

3. Splendid outlook with a wonderful northerly views across the gardens, and from the first floor to open fields beyond.

4. Come on into the double height entrance hall and into the lovely, light and bright breakfast kitchen which is open to the apex. Upgraded since the owners' purchase, the kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, halogen hob, electric oven and grill, fridge/freezer and undercounter washing machine and dishwasher.

5. Generous reception room - from the kitchen, part glazed doors open into the sitting/dining room with woodburing stove set into a stone fireplace with flag hearth and glazed sliding doors out to the seating terrace.

6. Sweet dreams - the pine staircase with useful built-in cupboard leads to the first floor landing with skylight window and a second built-in cupboard. Both double bedrooms are open to the apex and have wonderful views across the rear garden and beyond to open fields. Bedroom 1 has a large wardrobe with central mirror with bedroom 2 currently used as an office.

7. Bathroom and cloakroom - to the ground floor off the entrance hall is a two piece cloakroom and to the first floor, a modern three piece bathroom with skylight window.

8. Garaging and parking - there is private parking for three/four cars with gravel areas to the front of the property in addition to the front of the garage. The single garage has an electric up and over door, power, light and space for a tumble dryer and fridge/freezer.

9. Beautiful mature gardens - there are two garden areas to the rear; the first is child and pet friendly with a seating terrace having direct access from the sitting/dining room, landscaped lawn, deep planted borders, a greenhouse and garden shed. A hedge with wooden gate leads to a less formal, gently sloping garden bordering open countryside to the north with lawn, vegetable beds, trees and a wildlife pond. A wooden bench is perfectly positioned at the head of the garden to sit, unwind and appreciate the wonderful outlook back towards the house.

10. A picturesque, 'miles from anywhere' feel setting yet with excellent connectivity to road and
rail networks.
