Huntsmans Cottage is a very attractive and charming, timber framed cottage that offers a wealth of character and original features. The property benefits from an expired planning consent to extend the property, therefore there is the potential to provide further living accommodation subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions.

The front door opens to the reception hall that leads through to the dining room that has French doors to the side terrace and is open plan to the fitted kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen includes solid wood worktops, double Belfast sink, a Rangemaster multi-fuel oven, American fridge freezer and an integrated dishwasher. From the kitchen, a stable door opens to the fitted utility room that has solid wood worktops, space for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer and a rear entrance door. The kitchen/breakfast room flows into a cosy drawing room complete with an inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove, and benefits from delightful southerly views to the garden. The ground floor further extends to a light and airy study with fitted shelves and cupboards, and picture windows allowing a view over the rear garden to be enjoyed.

Stairs in the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to the Principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, which offers potential to be converted to an en suite, and two further double bedrooms. The bedrooms are serviced by a spacious family bathroom with a double ended roll top bath and a corner shower enclosure.

Adjacent to the house is a large games room/office with fitted shelves and cupboards, and a mezzanine.
