We have pleasure in offering to the market this charming and deceptive detached period cottage, offering a deceptive level of internal accommodation extending to around 1,500 sq.ft. boasting four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, two main reception areas and a spacious dining kitchen which runs the full width of the house. In addition the property offers a pleasant main entrance hall and a secondary hallway which could be reconfigured to create a utility area or ground floor cloak room.

The property is certainly large enough to accommodate families but would appeal to a wide audience, whether it be from single or professional couples or even potentially those downsizing from larger dwellings and appreciating a period home that's situated within walking distance of the heart of the village.

As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a pleasant corner plot which catches the afternoon and evening sun and is set back behind a walled frontage with gated access onto a driveway and, in turn, a garage and with gardens to the front and side.

In addition the property is offered to the market with no upward chain and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
