Property description
A charming detached Grade II Listed cottage set in 0.33 acres of private gardens together with off-road parking and a detached double garage
Located to the northern end of the village, The Cottage is set amongst a cluster of similar period properties which are surrounded by farmland. The property itself probably dates from the early 18th Century and is typical example of its type, where the accommodation is arranged over one and a half storeys. The central part of the cottage comprises the main sitting room with a focal fireplace, where the more modern brick additions could be removed to reveal the original inglenook – subject to listed building consent. Further period features include exposed wall and ceiling beams to the ground floor, and rafters and purlins on the first floor, which comprises two bedrooms to each end of the cottage.
To the rear are a series of single storey extensions which probably date from the 1950’s. This includes part of the kitchen which is fitted on two walls with numerous hardwood base and eye level units. The remaining accommodation comprises a rear utility / boot room with shower room with an adjacent garden room. A ground floor bedroom forms part of the original building.
Outside, the generous and private gardens are a feature to the property which are chiefly to the rear (east) comprising a large area of lawn defined by established hedging.
