This charming Grade II listed cottage is a wonderful blend of period features and modern convenience. On the ground floor are two reception rooms with exposed beams, one with a large inglenook fireplace and woodburner, and to the rear is a modern fitted kitchen with cottage style units and a butcher block work surface. The staircase is accessed via the sitting room, and at the bottom of the stairs is a small section of exposed cob covered by a perspex window so one can admire this traditional building method in detail. Upstairs are a large dual aspect double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, an additional bedroom and the modern bathroom. There is a high specification detached garden room in the rear garden with an en suite shower room, which provides a versatile space that could be used as a bedroom, office, hobby room, therapy room or many other uses.
