Description

Nestled in the heart of a sought-after village, this charming Grade II listed cottage combines historic character with contemporary comfort. Built in the mid-19th century, this delightful home is one of six unique cottages.

Having been thoughtfully modernized and sympathetically extended, it offers a harmonious blend of period charm and modern functionality. With further potential for extension (subject to planning permissions and English Heritage approval), this home offers a rare opportunity and comes to market with no onward chain.

The welcoming sitting room has a feature gas fireplace with bespoke cabinetry flanking the chimney breast. This leads into the dining room which benefits from matching built-in storage, an under-stair office nook and direct access to the garden.
The kitchen and breakfast room form the heart of the home, combining a bright, open-plan design with timeless character. Recently refitted, the kitchen boasts elegant cabinetry, integrated appliances, including an electric oven, ceramic hob with extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a traditional butler sink with mixer taps. The adjoining breakfast area is filled with natural light, thanks to vaulted ceilings and French doors leading to the garden, creating a perfect space for dining or entertaining.

Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms offer comfort and practicality, each featuring built-in wardrobes for ample storage. The family bathroom has been updated with a luxurious four-piece suite, including a walk-in shower and roll-top bath.

Outside, the garden is designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, featuring paved areas with raised beds and a separate vegetable garden at the rear. The property benefits from rear vehicle and pedestrian access, adding convenience to this idyllic setting.
