A picturesque semi-detached period cottage nestled in the heart of the village with beautiful gardens leading down to the Pill Hill Brook

A charming Grade II listed semi-detached period cottage, extended in recent years and offering a wealth of character throughout. The property is constructed of whitewashed brick and flint elevations to the front, with brick to the rear, all beneath a thatched roof, the back was re-thatched in 2017, the front more recently in 2023. Believed to have once been a cobbler’s house, operating the cobblers next door. The cottage retains many original features, including an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and timber framework. A recent extension has added a new ground floor shower room providing a practical addition to the original layout. The ground floor also includes a cosy sitting room with a new log-burning stove set within the inglenook fireplace, a separate dining room, and a generous farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room with an extensive range of units and a stable door opening to the rear garden.
