A Most Beautiful Character 2/3 Bedroom Cottage Built circa 1840 and located in a 'village' location tucked down a quiet side street opposite the church.

This extremely well presented cottage has views to the castle from indoors and outside, and is two minutes walk to amenities such as shops, doctors and a pharmacy.

Filled with character and renovated with love and thought over the past two years, this cottage has both a welcoming and peaceful feel to it.

It has a newly installed kitchen, February 2025, large sitting and dining room with beams and exposed brickwork, two shower/bath rooms and an upper landing which is currently utilised as a calm snug/office area but could be an additional bedroom, along with a fabulous cottage garden.

Absolutely must be viewed. Interior This delightful home wraps itself around you, giving a feeling of warmth and cosiness.

Beautifully updated with modern conveniences but still with a wealth of original features, neutral decoration along with plastered walls or exposed brick work run throughout the house.

New quality wool carpets are on the staircase and upper floor with parquet and oak flooring on the lower hallway and sitting room.

Oak internal doors with 'gate latch' handles, wooden beams and exposed wood work, cupboard doors with patterned ventilation holes and wooden door frames with inset squares make this a unique and very special property.

Ground Floor: An airy hallway leads off to all rooms on the lower floor with a deep storage cupboard under the stairway.

Further along the hall is a fully tiled shower room with a large cublicle, vanity unit with basin and wc. Direct access to the garden can be had through a rear door from the hallway.

The large sitting/dining room has a cosy feel but is of a generous size with double patio doors to the garden and a bay window at the front, making the room light and bright.

Upon the limestone hearth is an elegant 'Esse Bakeheart' wood burning stove, that has a hotplate and can be used for cooking meals.

Throughout the room are alcoves with shelving and oak beams and lintels giving additional character.

Around the door to the kitchen, and above the patio doors, the wood features continue with square inserts making a unique feature.

The newly installed kitchen is a stunning 'seagrass' colour with a light speckled worksurface.

There is an integrated induction hob with glass splashback, Neff 'tilt and slide' oven, tall fridge/freezer and space/plumbing for a dishwasher.

Another original feature is a slate window sill above the breakfast bar, at one end of the kitchen.

First Floor: At the top of the newly installed staircase is a room that is bathed in sunshine and is currently adapted as a quiet snug/office area.

With plenty of storage space and dual aspect windows allowing light to flood in, this could also be transformed into a third bedroom.

Further on there are two generous double bedrooms, with the one at the fore having space for two double beds, an exposed beam and a charming small stained glass internal window whos colours are enhanced when the light passes through.

The large principal bedroom has a built in double cupboard and views to the keep through the Velux window.

From this sleeping area is a fabulous bathroom complete with free standing 'slipper' bath and floor mounted filler tap, stripped floorboards and decorative blue and white tiles behind the bath and above the basin.

The final room on this floor is off the bathroom and is a versatile space that could be a dressing room, storage space, nursery or office.

Exterior This picture perfect cottage is whitewashed with pretty blue window sills and a wisteria climbing across the front of the property.

The rear cottage garden is an absolute delight with its long red brick wall along running down one side and original brick flooring forming the walk ways and seating areas.

Sandstone pavers, adjacent to the house, curve around the property to the log and garden store, as well as to the utility room.

This very useful space has an original low slate shelf, exposed brick wall and space/plumbing for a washing machine and directly outside is a very convenient sink and tap.

Steps lead up to the main garden that is filled with mature plants, bushes and trees which thrive in this sheltered and sunny outside space.

Along with vegetable patches, a pond with water feature and another garden store, the garden contains an olive, lemon, peach and two apple trees - one of these is believed to be an Isle of Wight variety.

There is also wisteria, lavender, a grapevine and camellia amongst other blossoming plants.

This is truly a relaxing quiet space, with views up to the castle keep on one side and the church on the other, this gorgeous garden has been lovingly created and cared for.
