About
Although the cottage would benefit from some redecoration and updating, it retains a wealth of character and charm, providing the perfect canvas to create a home tailored to your own taste and style.
The ground floor features a spacious sitting room with an impressive open natural stone fireplace, light and airy dining/family room opening onto a paved terrace, fitted kitchen with solid wood work surfaces, and a cosy snug with an open fire.
There is also a ground floor bath/shower room. Upstairs, a large galleried landing leads to three bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. There is also the convenience of a cloakroom on this level.
Outside, the mature rear garden is a particular highlight, with a variety of fruit trees, paved seating area ideal for alfresco dining, and a wide expanse of lawn offering space for children to play or gardeners to enjoy.
A driveway to the side provides off-road parking and leads to the detached outbuilding (25’2” x 10’11”), offering scope for many uses.
In summary, this period cottage combines character, space and potential, making it an exciting prospect for anyone seeking a home that can be personalised and enjoyed for many years to come.
