A spacious, period cottage, nicely tucked away in a quiet lane, a short walk from the town centre, Tesco and local amenities. Parking for three cars and a landscaped garden with workshop/home office.

This fine period cottage is believed to date back to the 1500's and is traditionally built with rendered cob upon stone, with more recent brick additions in part. The cottage was sympathetically re-rendered about nine years ago and internally has been beautifully maintained and decorated, with a new boiler fitted. The cottage has the great addition of PV or photo voltaic (solar) panels on the southerly facing roof elevation and there is a large battery in the loft for electricity storage for use at night or on dull days. This feature dramatically reduces the electricity cost for the property as the battery can also be charged overnight with a cheaper, 'off-peak' tariff, through Octopus.

Most people approach the cottage from the parking and the Goblin Lane side, which is officially the rear of the cottage. Our clients have added a useful cloakroom in the narrow hallway, which leads to the kitchen. This attractive room has an original ceiling beam and other wood features, a brick fireplace and the kitchen fitted in an attractive Shaker style. A recently purchased Leisure Cuisinemaster range, with a five ring gas hob, two ovens and a grill, is in place and may be purchased under separate negotiation.

The true entrance hall is tiled, with a door to the 'front' garden, and leads to the siting room, with a feature fireplace, which is not in use.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, with one particularly large with an ornamental Victorian fireplace in one corner. This dual aspect room could be converted into two rooms if required, without too much work. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, with a shower over the bath.

Opposite the cottage there is plenty of parking for at least three cars and a further, small area of land
nicknamed 'the orchard'. The main garden enjoys a sunny, southerly aspect and has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance, with sitting areas and a large workshop, close to the house. This useful, insulated building, with power connected, could also be used as a home office or gym, if required.
