We have pleasure in offering to the market this delightful period cottage located at the heart of this well regarded edge of Vale village offering a wealth of character and a deceptive level of accommodation.
This attractive double fronted period home offers a wealth of accommodation approaching 1,700sq.ft. boasting three main receptions as well as a spacious farmhouse style dining kitchen with utility and ground floor cloakroom. To the first floor there are three well proportioned double bedrooms with a particularly spacious master and a large, beautifully appointed family bathroom which has been updated with modern but traditional style fixtures and fittings.
The property offers a wealth of character with exposed beams and attractive fireplaces typical for a property of it's era.
The property is certainly large enough to accommodate families particularly making use of the local schools but would appeal to a wider audience whether it be from single or professional couples or those downsizing from larger dwellings looking for an interesting, individual home at the heart of a village.
As well as the accommodation on offer the property occupies a pleasant plot which benefits from a westerly rear aspect, lovingly established over the years and well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs that provides a charming outdoor space. To the rear of the property, accessed off an adjacent close, is a driveway offering off road parking as well as giving pedestrian access into the rear garden.
Overall this is a delightful village home with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
