Description

Tucked away and set back from the road sits this attractive attached period property with generous reception space offering flexible family accommodation arranged over two floors.
The country-style kitchen has been refitted in recent years and features an Aga and space for family dining. The kitchen area opens into a dining room which leads through to a family room and beyond that into a welcoming sitting room. The sitting room has an open fireplace, some pine panelling, and recesses with fitted shelving. Included in the ground floor accommodation is a utility room, study and bedroom which would be useful for guests.
The main staircase leads to the main landing off which there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A secondary staircase leads up to a further bedroom/studio room.

Outside
To the front of the cottage is a dedicated parking area which would accommodate 4/5 cars. A gate then leads to a central pathway in the front garden, which is flanked on both sides by areas of lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs. A gravelled area in front of the house serves as an attractive courtyard area with a porch into the hallway and also a door directly into the kitchen.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and secluded with a backdrop of trees and established shrubs. There is a paved area for outside dining and a pathway around to a brick built storage room attached to the house as well as a useful timber shed.
