We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive, period, semi detached cottage likely to date back to the late 1800s but over recent years, has seen a tasteful programme of refurbishment creating a delightful traditional home with modern elements.

The property affords a particularly aesthetically pleasing brick facade beneath a slate tiled roof behind which lies approximately 1,200 sq.ft. of internal accommodation laid out over two floors creating a versatile layout with the ability to be utilised as a purely ground floor home having a master suite to the rear which affords fantastic views into the garden and fields beyond. The accommodation extends to three double bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and three reception areas including an L shaped living kitchen which is tastefully appointed with a generous range of units and integrated appliances. The kitchen links through into a snug area with an attractive solid fuel stove and, in addition, there is a further reception with a dual aspect and an attractive fireplace and a small study perfect for today's way of working. The ground floor principal suite is accessed via an initial utility area with shower off and, to the first floor, there are two further double bedrooms and main bathroom.

In addition the property benefits from double glazed windows as well as air sourced heating and relatively neutral decoration throughout.

As well as the internal accommodation one of the main assets of the house is its wonderful garden that has been lovingly established over the years and is generous, particularly by modern standards, affording an excellent level of off road parking and a large garden at the rear which benefits from wonderful open views across adjacent fields.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
