Description

Barn Cottage is a semi-detached village home of character, yet is presented in neutral tones which enhances the bright and airy feel throughout. Arranged over two floors, the heart of the home is the stylish shaker-style kitchen which opens into a generous dining space. Steps then lead up to a further elevated open plan dining/sitting area which features a wood-burning stove, a vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling windows. The whole living area overall offers versatility in terms of how this generous space can be used. There is also a separate sitting room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, again with wood-burning stove. A utility room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor boasts a principal bedroom with fitted cupboards and an en suite shower room to one end whilst double doors to the other end open on to a balcony from which to enjoy views over the garden. Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
The gravelled driveway offers parking in front of the garage and the annexe, the latter comprising a sitting room with separate kitchen on the ground floor and a bedroom with cupboards and bathroom on the first floor. The annexe will hold great appeal for those seeking a source of income , or alternatively it would serve as excellent overflow accommodation. Double doors from the kitchen lead out to the terrace, ideal for entertaining, with steps up to the delightful mature rear garden. There are a variety of shrubs and trees with well stocked borders.
