Oliver Russell Property Consultants are delighted to bring to the market an established and modern six-bedroom detached home set in the heart of the much sought-after Upper Dean conservation area.

Originally built in the late 1960s, May Cottage can be found down a peaceful, no through lane in this charming village. Constructed in brick with a pan tiled roof, the property features dove grey timber feather boarding to the front and back.

This well-proportioned house benefits from generous off-road parking, mature front and rear gardens and an integral garage. It has benefited from a continual program of improvements. In 2003 a large rear extension was added and in 2015, the property was further extended with an attic dormer.

In the last 12-months the outside of the house was fully redecorated, and a bespoke, hand-built, open plan kitchen was fitted. The wonderfully light, modern, country style kitchen flows through to an expansive dining and lounge area with a built-in wood burning stove. The space also boasts French doors and windows with access to both the front and rear gardens.

Throughout the upstairs and downstairs hallways, half-height panelling has recently been installed and a brand-new, family bathroom with a hand built double vanity unit featuring Fired Earth tiling and Samuel Heath fittings has being completed.
