Step Cottage still enjoys many features from its origins, including an inglenook fireplace and bread oven (no longer operational) in the sitting room, and timber ceiling beams - all reflective of its heritage. The fireplace now houses a sizeable log burner and helps make the sitting room a particularly cosy retreat. With friends & family round, and particularly in the warmer months, you'll doubtless spend a good deal of time in the kitchen/dining room which provides distinct spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing. There is also a good size separate dining room for more formal dining leading off the kitchen area. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a versatile family room, currently used as a gym with a roof lantern, There is a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs there are four separate bedrooms with a flexible arrangement of uses. There is also a room off the landing that leads to the principal bedroom housing a modern free-standing double-ended bath. Also off this room is the third bedroom which could be used as a study, or this whole area could be a master suite if so desired. The main room incorporates a dressing area and also its own en-suite shower-room. The second bedroom also has en-suite facilities.
NB: It should be noted that planning was granted in 2024 - WA/2024/00832 for an extension, and previous granted permissions in 2015 & 2017 (WA/2017/0781 & WA/2015/0741) gave permissions for a double-storey extension incorporating an additional bedroom, and these may, subject to consultation with Waverley Council planners, be possible to re-instate.

Garden & Exterior
The rear garden has recently been the subject of considerable re-landscaping that includes a newly created Cotswold stone gravelled patio-area with a rendered and stone surrounding wall that leads up to brick steps to a newly lawned area with a new timber bar making it ideal for outdoor entertaining. New fencing has also been installed, and the creation of a number of parking spaces,. This is a super place to sit out in the warmer months, enhanced by the view of the Grade I-listed All Saints Church.
