An elegant detached four-bedroom cottage offering beautifully proportioned and versatile accommodation, with origins that pre-date the 1888 date stone on its Victorian frontage.

The kitchen/breakfast room is an impressive space, centred around an inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel burner, incorporating the original oven door. The dining room features impressive French doors opening onto the cottage-style gardens and flows through to an open study with exposed stone walling. Both the snug and separate sitting room offer an inviting sense of character, each with feature fireplaces, while the snug is further enhanced by a log-burning stove set within a carved wooden surround and brick hearth.

To the first floor, a light-filled landing gives access to four well-appointed double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The generous principal bedroom enjoys a private en-suite bathroom, completing this exceptional and characterful home.

Services: Mains water, electricity and drainage. Oil fired central heating.

Outside

The cottage-style rear gardens offer good privacy, with an attached double garage with electric up-and-over door and parking for two to three vehicles. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders, a raised flower bed and rockery, complemented by a herringbone-paved terrace and a paved seating area with pergola, while wrought iron gates lead to additional off-street parking. Of particular note is the green oak–framed home office/studio, featuring an exposed A-frame, vaulted ceiling and hand-made clay roof tiles.
