NO ONWARD CHAIN

Stepping in through the front door through a gated storm porch, the cottage opens into a welcoming sitting room. This is a room full of character, with an exposed stone fireplace housing a wood burner, a bread oven recess, and beamed ceiling details that reflect the age and style of the home. From here, a door leads through to the kitchen, which is well fitted with cream fronted units and arranged to make good use of the space for everyday living. Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor, where the landing gives access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is a comfortable double, while the second bedroom provides useful flexibility as a guest room, study or single bedroom. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite and shower over the bath.

Outside, and positioned opposite the cottage, there is off road parking with access to a car port, together with attractive cottage gardens that add further appeal. These include lawned areas, mature hedging, as well as a paved patio that provides a pleasant place to sit out. There are also useful block built sheds and workshop space, offering valuable storage and flexibility for hobbies or projects.
