Chalk Cottage is a delightful traditional period home, ideally positioned within the heart of the village, with many character features, exposed timber beams and a partly thatched roof which was fully re-thatched in June 2022. The door from the driveway opens on to a generous hallway, with access to a utility room with shower. At the other end of the hall is the door to the kitchen, with a range of fitted wooden units, granite worktop, range cooker and hood and windows to the front and side. The kitchen leads onto an elegant dining room, with views over the main garden. Adjoining the dining room is the sitting room with stove and feature fireplace. A further versatile reception room could be used as a snug or study and leads out onto the main garden via a porch. The first-floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms, three of which are spacious doubles, family bathroom and en suite in the main bedroom.

In addition to the above accommodation, a detached outbuilding houses a double garage and an annexe / studio room with separate shower room. This building offers great potential and could be used for a variety of purposes such as a home office, games room or gym.

OUTSIDE
Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the house, and have the feel of a quintessential English cottage garden, with many well stocked beds and borders, fruit trees and an area for growing vegetables. The borders are interspersed with lawned areas and pathways, and the gardens have been very well looked after by the current owner. In addition, there is a driveway with parking for several cars.
