Description - Riverside Cottage is a classic Grade II Listed thatched property with flexible layout options with a very pretty courtyard garden and views of the surrounding countryside. Whilst exquisitely modernised throughout, this picture perfect cottage still enjoys an abundance of character features including exposed timber work and a feature inglenook fireplace. The versatile accommodation is currently configured as a 3 bedroom cottage - 2 doubles (1 en-suite) and a downstairs third single bedroom. There is the option to re-instate a downstairs bathroom and create a double bedroom with en-suite, subject to gaining the necessary planning permissions. The thatched roof was re-ridged and serviced in June 2023.

Accommodation - A part-glazed front door from the sun terrace leads to the cosy slate floored sitting room with period ceiling beams and inglenook with Charnwood multi-fuel stove. The modern kitchen has fitted wall and floor mounted units and a breakfast bar. Off the sitting room is a separate study, a ground floor single bedroom, formerly a bathroom which could be reinstated. Also downstairs there are stairs rising to the first floor with a turning staircase that leads up to the first floor landing with an airing cupboard, and doors to a double bedroom and stunning master bedroom. Off the master bedroom is a dressing room with built-in cupboards and an en-suite wet room with double sink unit.

Garden - A gate from the lane gives access to the pretty courtyard garden with a paved sun terrace off which there is a small gate down to the brook that flows through the village. There is also an external store room.
