DESCRIPTION A most attractive detached period cottage originally part of the Houghton Hall Estate located near the church on the fringe of a good village with amenity. Circa 1840 the property has been modernised but retains considerable charm and character. The living space works well and includes a sitting room with large log burner and a dining room with a wide bay and window seat. The southerly aspect is bright and open. The fitted kitchen is small but perfectly formed. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with dual aspect and a modern shower room with electric underfloor heating and towel rail. On the first floor is a second double bedroom with a bowed window. The gardens compliment the property well and include lawns, small wooded areas and an excellent south facing patio next to a small stream. A detached double garage completes the picture.
