Pretty and full of character, this charming cottage blends historic appeal with everyday practicality. From the street, its bay front window and painted façade are immediately inviting. Inside, the accommodation is arranged over four levels, offering bright and versatile rooms.

The living room at the front of the house features a bay window and fireplace, while the adjoining dining room provides a second sociable space, ideal for family meals or entertaining. At the rear, the kitchen leads directly to the garden.

On the lower-ground floor, a generous bedroom enjoys good natural light and works equally well as a home office, studio, or guest room. Upstairs on the first floor, a bright double bedroom sits alongside the family bathroom, and the top floor houses a further double bedroom with characterful proportions under the eaves.

The garden is a real highlight – long, private, and ready to be landscaped into a tranquil retreat or vibrant entertaining space.
