The Property
Porch & Entrance Hall Passing through the double doors of the

home. The cottages history and character are immediately visible in
the beams and forged latch handle doors within the square entrance
hall that has a convenient under stairs cupboard.

beams, picture window, and a wood burner nestled within a striking
stone inglenook fireplace, complete with an original bread
oven.

underfloor heating. An abundance of natural light fills the
adjacent rooms, creating a serene retreat. Brand new double doors

tiled flooring and warmth of underfloor heating. Natural light

lawn, this carpeted downstairs double bedroom is a gloriously sunny

open flow. Adjacent lies the ensuite wet room, which is part of the
recent extension and includes a walk in electric shower, WC, hand
wash basin, chrome towel radiator, and sensor light.

The wrap around, well established gardens offer a mix of lawns,
cottage borders, a wildflower garden, raised sleeper vegetable
beds, with a sun dappled deck and pebbled paths. It is a paradise
for gardeners and bird watchers alike. Two sheds are nestled within
the grounds ideally suited for storing tools. The detached garage
is located at the apex of the driveway and includes power, EV
charging point, lighting & a rolling door, while the drive itself
is secured by a 5 bar gate, with copious parking. Notable additions
