Description

This lovely home has been beautifully updated and maintained to provide light and airy accommodation providing a comfortable blend of the traditional character details with modern contemporary fittings.

The original cottage is believed to date from the end of the 16th Century but there have been several changes made in subsequent years to create the home that exists today. The accommodation in the main house is approximately 1,387 Sq ft with further annexe and outbuildings of approximately 609 Sq ft to provide approximately 1,996 Sq ft of accommodation in total.

The main house has a large living room with two feature arched windows, fireplace and wood burning stove. There is a dining room/family room and a modern kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a separate WC on this level. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with WC and shower.

The pretty gardens are in two parts. The first garden to the main house has a large paved terrace area from the kitchen that leads to a further lawned area with a vine covered corner seating area and a summer house and potting shed with electrics running throughout.

There is a detached barn at the rear of the initial garden with separate access that has been converted to form a modern one bedroom annexe which benefits from its own kitchen, woodburner, shower room and separate WC. There is a private area of off street parking by the main house, plus a further shared driveway with parking in front of the detached barn.

Beyond the detached barn there is a further area of garden. This area houses a greenhouse with automatic window openers, a herb and cutting garden, bike storage area and a further carpenter's cabin with storage at the bottom of the gardens again with electrics running throughout.
