Description
The property offers a versatile arrangement of accommodation, combining a traditional cottage with the benefit of a self-contained annexe, together providing a flexible and adaptable living environment. The main cottage offers well-proportioned accommodation with a natural sense of light throughout, presenting a comfortable layout with scope for further enhancement if desired. The principal reception space is of a generous size, centred around a feature fireplace, while the adjoining areas provide a practical arrangement for day-to-day living. To the rear, the layout connects well with the garden, and the first floor provides three bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Overall, the cottage has been maintained in a straightforward manner, offering a solid foundation for buyers to adapt and update to their own tastes over time.
The annexe provides a well-contained and practical living space, ideally suited to independent occupation while remaining closely connected to the main house. Arranged with a functional layout, it offers comfortable accommodation with good natural light and a sense of separation that lends itself to a variety of uses. The space has been simply maintained, allowing scope for a purchaser to refresh and adapt to suit their own requirements, whether for extended family, guests or potential supplementary income (subject to permissions).
Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking to the rear, providing a practical and accessible approach. The garden extends to approximately 180 feet (subject to survey), offering a notably generous expanse that is predominantly laid to lawn, with a mix of established boundaries and open sections that create a sense of depth. The length of the plot provides clear potential for landscaping or further cultivation, while also affording a good degree of privacy away from the immediate setting of the house.
Taken as a whole, the property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking flexible accommodation with scope to enhance, reconfigure or combine the existing layout to suit a range of needs.

Therefore, any proposed changes to the use of the Annexe will require the appropriate permissions from planning.
