The cottage was re-built circa 1908 and has been tastefully modernised and cared for by the current owners since 2018. You enter through the front door into the spacious entrance hall with a downstairs cloakroom, utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal rooms.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and benefits from a variety of modern fitted wall and base units with work surfaces over and inset sink with drainer. There is a built in dishwasher and electric oven, with four ring gas hob and hood over. There is also space for a fridge freezer. There is an island in the middle providing seating and a door leading out to the rear garden.
The living room is situated at the front of the house and is open to the kitchen area, giving it an open feel and allowing natural light to enter from both aspects. The second reception room is located on the other side of the property and is also currently used as a second lounge with plenty of space for furniture.
The owners love- The current owners have loved the convenience and close proximity of the village and all its amenities just a stone throw from the front door. “There is so much space and it is very versatile and can be utilised in many ways.”
Upstairs, on the first floor landing, there is a loft access hatch, airing cupboard and doors to the bedrooms and family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two are generous sizes with bedroom one enjoying built in storage. Bedroom three is a good size single and all have large windows overlooking the front, flooding the rooms with natural light. The family bathroom is fully tiled and is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin, and bath with rain shower over.
Libby Loves - “What a fantastic opportunity to acquire a stunning cottage! I was blown away by just how spacious the house is! The other thing is the location, there aren’t many character cottages that can boast all the village amenities on the doorstep that this one can! I think it would be perfect for a young family or couple looking to enjoy the village life, an absolute must see house!”
Outside, to the side of the property there is a driveway, which provides off road parking for two vehicles. To the rear, there is a patio area which leads onto a lawn with plenty pf space for garden sheds or storage. The garden is fully enclosed, and the aspect is ideal to soak up the sunshine on a nice summers’ day.
