Description The property sits proudly at the end of a row of ex farm workers cottages and clearly well loved and maintained.

Built in the Victorian era it has a common layout solution with an opened up lounge diner setting the tone with the character beams and wood burner set into the exposed brick chimney.

The dining space gives access to the kitchen via stable door, ideal if you have a dog and want to close this space but still be sociable.

It offers space for utilities and as all good kitchens should offers views of the beautiful rear garden from the sink. A door leads out from the kitchen to the garden terrace.

Upstairs via a central landing are two bedroom and a central bathroom, rarely upstairs for a cottage of this era and a really positive attribute.

Overlooking the front with views of farmland is the main bedroom. Beams and nooks add to the charm and warmth you feel in this wonderful home.

To the rear is a further bedroom that could take a double bed although set up with a single presently overlooks the rear garden and offers a built in wardrobe and linen cupboard.

Between the two bedrooms is the bathroom.

With a nod to its Victorian origins this white suite with shower over the bath sits very well with its surroundings and continues the charm this property exudes.

Externally the garden is beautifully maintained by its current owners and offers good space to relax.
