Robin Cottage is a charming Grade II listed character cottage, displaying a wealth of period features, combined with modern additions, including a fabulous, vaulted dining area off the beautiful kitchen, modern bathroom suites, and an updated central heating system. It also benefits from spacious storage.

One enters via a front porch to the sitting room, with a pretty casement window to the front, feature open fireplace and exposed beams to the ceiling and far wall. A stud partition wall separates the sitting room from the inner hall/study area, with under-stairs storage cupboard, a door to the kitchen and downstairs WC/utility room, which has space for a washing machine, storage shelves and houses the boiler.

The beautiful kitchen has been expertly extended to create a vaulted dining space, with exposed trusses and multi-pane windows and French doors to the rear garden.  The original part glazed stable door also opens out to the garden from the kitchen.  There are lovely, wide floorboards throughout this area. The kitchen is fitted with a range of pale grey cupboards and drawers with wooden worktops, a ceramic butler sink, range cooker and fridge freezer. There is also a free-standing island with butcher-block worktop. 

The first floor provides a beamed landing and a staircase to the second floor. A door and a step from the landing leads to the main bedroom with a window to the rear and a fitted wardrobe. The en-suite tiled shower room features a shower enclosure, WC, basin, heated towel rail and window to rear.
