Rarely available to the market, is this beautifully presented Grade II listed character cottage, dating back to the 1800's and takes pride of place next to Swanwick Marina and close to the shoreline. Historically the cottages were originally a workshop where wooden masts and spars were built for the Royal Navy. Also, sailmakers cottages during the Napoleonic wars. Victory Cottage has been sympathetically extended and restored by the current owners to provide flexible and well-proportioned accommodation. Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into the open-plan sitting/dining room/kitchen where the stylish design and improvements are very much in evidence. The feature log burner creates a cosy and warming feeling set in an open fireplace with exposed brickwork and a wooden mantel above. A bespoke fitted kitchen displays a fantastic range of built-in appliances and a sleek range of wall and base units, complemented by a copper style worktop. Through a door from the sitting room, is the good sized second bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, including an attractive claw foot bath, for added convenience. The first floor displays the principal bedroom with a character fireplace and an en-suite shower room. Outside, there is a beautifully crafted seating area which provides the perfect space for garden furniture and a BBQ to enjoy private al fresco dining. Unusually, this cottage further benefits from parking for two cars and a lockable workshop/shed.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONMaterials used in construction: Brick and tilesThe property is located within a conservation area.Has the property been damaged by any flood water leaks, adverse weather or fire?
