The Property

Dairy Cottage is an enchanting grade II listed cottage which has been thoughtfully and sympathetically restored to create well-appointed interior which mixes a fine blend of period features with modern fitments.

The cottage is believed to date from the mid-18th century and is situated towards the heart of the village within a Conservation area and enjoys a southerly aspect.

The ground floor of the property has a kitchen/breakfast room, featuring exposed beams and a door that leads out to the garden. The kitchen is well-appointed and offers ample storage and preparation space.

The heart of the cottage is the inviting sitting room, which has a feature fireplace with a woodburning stove. Double doors in the sitting room open up to the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outdoors and filling the space with natural light.

Adjacent to the sitting there is a separate study which could also be used as a ground floor bedroom.

Additionally, a modern shower room completes the ground floor, offering convenience and practicality.

Moving upstairs, the first floor of the cottage comprises three good-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom and second bedroom are both spacious and well-proportioned, providing ample space for furniture. Bedroom three is accessed via bedroom two, making it an ideal setup for a child's room or a versatile space that can be used as a dressing room or nursery.

Completing the first floor is a modern bathroom, featuring contemporary fixtures and fittings.

Outside

To the front of the Cottage are grassed verges. To one side (east) a pair of timber gates open to a gravelled parking area leading to the modern detached garage having an electric up and over door, concrete base, power, light and a side door for access to the garden.

Between the garage and cottage is a wrought iron pedestrian gate which opens to the attractive mellow brick terrace which runs the length of the cottage. Steps from the terrace with low stone walling and flower/rose beds either side lead to the predominantly lawned garden within which is a circular paved sitting area.

There is a well-stocked border to the western side of the garden. Above the garage is a path with a lavender border to one side, leading to the fine Hartley Botanic greenhouse.
