"An attractive Grade II listed cottage, beautifully renovated and presented, with stunning 90 garden with outbuildings, situated within this well regarded and served village.
Situated within the well served and popular village, 16 High Street is an attractive Grade II listed cottage, believed to date back to the 17th century with a later 19th century rear addition, built of traditional timber frame construction with painted roughcast elevations under a clay pan tiled roof.
The property has been subject to considerable improvements in the last 3 years, resulting in a tasteful home, enjoying a high degree of natural light and a number of attractive notable features.
The cottage extends to around 1,000ft2, comprising a covered sidewalk passage way which the vendor uses as the principal entrance to the property, leading to the sitting room, with attractive exposed brick floors, exposed timbers and wood burning stove. There is a door leading down to a wine cellar, offering useful brick built shelving with slate shelving.
The kitchen breakfast room enjoys views and access to the garden, being fitted with a stylish range of traditional storage and shelved cupboards, with twin Belfast sink, range cooker, exposed brickwork and painted paneling. There is also a shelved pantry cupboard.
The first floor provides for a good size landing area, with adequate room for a desk, painted timber floors, and access to the bathroom, with freestanding rolltop bath with shower attachment, with two double bedrooms, both with storage, the principal having a walk in wardrobe.

The attractive gardens have by the current owners been landscaped and designed to provide colour and interest through all seasons. Immediately from the kitchen door is a terrace area ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining. From here sleepers retain a lawned area.
This part of the garden also has a useful red brick outhouse currently used as a utility room as well as a separate workshop. A path continues to a further part of the garden where there is a prolific vegetable patch and further area of lawn. At the top end of the garden there is a further useful shed and wood store. The garden has an array of mature trees and shrubs including a wonderful lilac tree at the far end. The attractive brick and flint wall extends to the west and northern boundary.
