Bedrooms: 4
A picture postcard detached cottage (c.2700 sqft) with origins dating back to the 16th Century, set in an idyllic village setting with mature attractive gardens amounting to nearly 3/4 of an acre.

Internally, the smartly presented and nicely balanced layout comprises 4 bedrooms complemented by 4 receptions rooms with the flexibility to even divide the right hand side of the house into an annexe if one so desired. A charming entrance hall with Inglenook fireplace and former bread oven leads into a dual aspect sitting room with an attractive fireplace and inviting log burning stove. This in turn opens off to a large dining room with an impressive Inglenook with a 'Reginald' wood burner. The triple aspect modern kitchen/breakfast room has an electric AGA, oak worktops. There is a generous utility, rear hall and cloakroom. To the right hand side is a study with exposed fireplace, a spacious family room opening into a really lovely 15ft conservatory with slate flooring and a new roof (2022), a shower room and second kitchen. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with exposed beams and wash hand basins and a refitted family bathroom.

Outside, there is driveway parking alongside a double garage (with an electric door) and a large carport with a good ceiling height suitable for a camper van. Useful outbuildings include a potting shed, two wood stores and a garden room. The beautifully maintained gardens are a real noteworthy feature of this home, and feature plum, cherry, apple, quince and walnut trees alongside various fruit bushes and well kept lawns to both the front and rear.
