A CHARMING RENOVATED STONE COTTAGE ON THE EDGE OF THIS DESIRABLE VILLAGE WITH WALLED GARDEN AND TRADITIONAL STABLING/HAYLOFT RIPE FOR CONVERSION.

Dating back to the 18th century this Grade II listed stone cottage has been sympathetically restored and extended over the years to create a stunning period property full of character and enjoying a timeless charm. Complementing the flexible residential accommodation is a delightful but small south facing walled garden along with detached traditional outbuilding, formally stables with hayloft above and wash room to the side with potential for conversion to provide annexed living accommodation subject to obtaining planning and listed building consent. The cottage also benefits from private drive with access to garage with accommodation on the first floor. A viewing will be essential to fully appreciate not only the character and setting of the property but the opportunities it offers.

A panelled front door opens into reception hall with coat rail to one wall and beyond is the inner hall with fully tiled cloak/shower room at the far end along with providing access to the garden room overlooking and enjoying direct access into the rear garden.

Both the sitting room and dining room lying on either side of the inner hall benefit from double aspects with fireplaces with the dining room benefitting from cupboards and display areas either side of the fireplace housing a gas fired wood burner.

The kitchen/breakfast room lies at the far end of the cottage featuring a bespoke fitted kitchen with white Corian work surfaces and tiled floor. Integrated appliances are all by Neff and include combination oven/microwave, oven with warming drawer below and induction hob with extractor fan. To the side of the ovens is a full height fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

The kitchen opens into the utility room with Butlers sink and plumbing for washing machine and a stable door opens to reveal the south facing courtyard garden.
