Arranged over three floors the characterful accommodation comprises: Entrance hall, a lovely sitting room with windows to the front and French doors to the rear garden, a feature fireplace with a large stone lintel and a pretty cast iron log burning stove. The kitchen/dining room is a superb space with seating area, a good range of units and worktops, a dual fuel range cooker and ample open shelving, with a sliding pocket door leading through to the entrance hall. Stairs lead up from the entrance hall to a landing with two double bedrooms and the family bathroom with two further bedrooms on the floor above. The main bedroom has a separate WC.

Upon approaching the cottage from the lane, you will see the driveway leading down to the cottage. This provides ample parking, along with a detached garage which is sat at the top of the drive. The garden is beautiful and has been carefully designed by the owner to provide great entertaining spaces but also private spaces with Indian sandstone large paving slabs, well stocked flower borders with cottage flowers and herbs. The views from all parts of the garden are superb. There is also a timber-built summer house at the top of the garden perfect for someone to work from home or just to enjoy the views.
