The property boasts well planned accommodation extending to approximately 2600 sq ft and is ideally suited to families.

A number of reception rooms are flexible in use and filled with natural light from their individual bay windows. Of note, the drawing room has an open fireplace, French doors and superb views to the rear over delightful gardens. The drawing room leads to both a sitting room and further versatile family room. A central study, accessed from the kitchen, sitting room and family room, would also lend itself well for use as a formal dining room.

The kitchen, with traditional wooden cabinetry and excellent proportions, benefits from adjoining dining/breakfast area with further bay window offering pretty garden views. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility/boot room with convenient back door onto the rear terrace.

There are five well proportioned bedrooms to the first floor accessed via a central staircase. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite. All bedrooms are generous in size enjoying views over the gardens and grounds. A family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.

Barton Cottage sits centrally within an attractive south-west facing plot of approximately 1.1 acres. The gardens, benefiting from an extensive rear terrace off the house, are a wonderful feature of this property having been well maintained with a large level lawn. A number of mature and specimen trees provide screening and privacy. To the rear of the garden is a charming ornamental pond.

To the front of the house is an oak framed three bay car port with additional workshop/storage space and log store. The house is approached via a circular gravel driveway, the central island boasting impressive Rhododendron.
