Situated on the sought after Park Row in Eagley, this Grade II listed, three-bedroom stone cottage has been beautifully renovated to create a stunning home, where contemporary style and character charm blend together perfectly.

A brief summary of the internal accommodation includes a hallway, lounge, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, while externally is a private yard and parking space to the rear.

The Living Space

One thing certain about this cottage, is the interior design is absolutely beautiful! The hallway welcomes you inside where detailed, porcelain Victorian-style floor tiling complements the stylish wall panelling and a decorative ceiling arch. The fresh décor creates a bright and airy feel, and a dark anthracite grey cast iron feature radiator adds a touch of tasteful contrast.

To the front of the property is the lounge, where the timeless design continues, with a traditional chimney breast and original fireplace holding the centre of the room, where the fireplace features detailed cast iron panelling, with a gas fire adding a cosy touch. The large window streams in plenty of natural light, window shutters add subtle privacy keeping that cosy feel, while underfoot is an oak parquet floor which finishes the room in style and quality.

A solid stone floor in the dining room continues the original period style while being a practical solution for modern life. Owing to it being another well-proportioned reception room, this also space offers versatility in use and could alternatively swap positions with the lounge. Another chimney breast keeps the traditional design, with a contemporary multi-fuel burner within, which is sure to pelt out warmth and a cosy flow on cold wintery days.

Through to the rear, the solid stone floor continues in the kitchen, which is a testament to tasteful interior design – a tall, modern, matt black tall radiator with matching light switch sits on an original exposed stone feature wall, while complementing the black Range cooker with gold fittings, featuring two ovens, a grill, five gas hobs and an interchangeable hot plate. The Belfast sink with feature matt black tap also adds to the design, and other integrated appliances include an extractor hood, fridge, freezer, and Bosch dishwasher. All of which is brought together stylishly within light, in-frame, shaker style units and a beautiful hardwood worktop, with complementary metro tiled splashbacks. And the hardwood stable-style door gives further charm, while allowing a cool breeze inside on warm summer days.

The bedroom to the rear is currently the master, and also benefits from a fitted wardrobe with double rail. The third bedroom is equally well presented with an exposed original wood floor, and makes for an ideal home office, or of course a single bedroom or nursery for the little one.

There is also a substantial loft within the property, which could offer potential for conversion if desired, subject to regulations.

Like all other aspects of the property, the bathroom is finished with a notable style that complements the original character of the house with part tiled walls, and a four-piece suite comprising a freestanding bathtub as the centrepiece, with Victorian style tap and hand held showerhead, a walk in corner shower, vanity basin with integral storage, and WC.
