Accommodation Beautifully updated by the current owner, this charming cottage perfectly blends character features with modern comforts to create a warm and welcoming home.

Thoughtfully refreshed throughout, the property retains the charm and personality of the original building while offering practical spaces suited to modern living.

The entrance hall is surprisingly spacious and provides plenty of room for coats, boots and everyday storage before leading through to the heart of the home — a large kitchen/dining room.

Recently fitted, the kitchen combines a traditional cottage feel with contemporary style, featuring a range of base units topped with solid wood worktops.

There is space for a fridge-freezer and cooker, alongside an integrated hob and sink, while windows overlook the sunny courtyard garden to the rear.

A half-glazed back door opens out to the covered veranda, creating an ideal spot to sit with a morning coffee or enjoy the garden whatever the weather.

A step leads down to the adjoining dining area, which offers ample space for a dining table.

A large window to the front floods the room with natural light and provides a pretty outlook across the high street and countryside beyond.

The living room is an especially inviting space, filled with natural light from its sunny dual aspect.

A grand fireplace creates a cosy focal point, making this a wonderful room in which to relax and unwind.

From here, further doors lead back to the entrance hall or into a separate study with stunning stained glass portal window creating a warm and practical space, ideal for home working, hobbies or a quiet reading room.

Upstairs, the character of the cottage continues with a staircase featuring decorative wooden panels believed to have originated from ships, adding a unique sense of history to the home.

At the top of the stairs is the family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite including a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, each embracing the character of the original building with handsome feature fireplaces and pretty outlooks across the village high street.

The principal bedroom also benefits from an adjoining additional room, offering excellent flexibility as a dressing room, home office, nursery or occasional single bedroom.

Outside To the front of the cottage, a small courtyard area sets the property back nicely from the road.

The rear gardens are a real highlight of the home, thoughtfully arranged to provide both space and seclusion.

Immediately outside the property, the generous courtyard-style garden enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day, creating a wonderful spot for outdoor dining, entertaining guests or simply relaxing during the warmer months.

Steps then lead up to a further area of garden, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by pretty cottage-style planting.

Enjoying a high degree of privacy, this peaceful space perfectly complements the character and charm of the cottage.
