The property is welcoming throughout, with the ground floor providing spacious living accommodation with a large lounge with open fire place, a generous dining kitchen, and a sun room overlooking the garden. There is an excellent level of light throughout the cottage, with lots of dual aspect rooms and a generous head height, creating a very inviting and comfortable home and affording for family living well. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are comfortable doubles with lovely outlooks, with the family bathroom on the split landing.

The external space is well kept and mature, a colourful haven in the spring and summer months, with far reaching views, complete privacy and lots of birds and wildlife.
