We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting, individual, detached period cottage tucked away in a quiet backwater on what is a generous 1/5 of an acre plot, all within this highly regarded and much sought after village.
The cottage itself offers a wealth of character and features, each room offering it's own individuality. To the ground floor an initial entrance hall leads through into a utility and, in turn, the main accommodation comprising an open plan dining/kitchen, the kitchen area being fitted with a generous range of modern units finished in heritage style colours, a central main reception large enough to accommodate both living and dining area having attractive fireplace and dual aspects to front and rear which, in turn, links into a useful study and ground floor shower room. Two staircases rises to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and family bathroom.
Many of the rooms offer exposed beams and part pitched ceilings to the first floor creating a great deal of character which, combined, create a truly individual home.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful plot with established gardens to three sides lying in the region of 0.207 of an acre giving ample room to expand the accommodation further, subject to any necessary consents. In addition there is a double width driveway leading off the lane and, in turn, to a garage/workshop with timber storage shed behind and useful greenhouse.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
