Description

A Grade II listed cottage with tremendous character and sitting well within its plot of around 2.65 acres.

Excellent reception space is offered, with a generous dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace surround and views of the garden. There is also a separate dining room and a study which leads into a useful greenhouse to the rear. The country style kitchen offers space for informal dining and features an oil fired AGA/Raeburn range which supplies the hot water and immersion heater. There is an adjoining sizeable pantry. There is also a shower room downstairs.

The first floor provides four double bedrooms, all of which are served by the family bathroom.
The cottage has been a much loved home, in the same family ownership for many years and presents an opportunity to upgrade and extend (subject to the required consents).

The cottage is approached via a five bar gate to a large gravelled driveway, offering extensive parking, which extends up the side of the cottage to an area in front of the outbuilding.

The outbuilding has been utilised as garaging as well as workshop space and storage. In addition there is a shed at the southern end of the property with further access to the road.   

The pretty lawned gardens together with the adjoining paddocks present a most appealing parcel of land and could accommodate a couple of ponies. There are also a couple of useful sheds.
