The current owners have renovated the property whilst retaining many of the original features such as beautiful floorboards, wall panelling and beamed ceilings. The thick walls and deep-cilled windows ensure the cottage is cosy in the winter and cool in the summer with oil-fired central heating and a woodburner in the sitting room for those chillier evenings.

Upon entering the house through the front door off the garden, there is a porch and small entrance hall with W/C, which opens to the welcoming dining room with windows to the front and rear of the property. A beautiful wooden floor runs throughout the ground floor.

The owners have installed a bespoke kitchen, keeping it traditional with solid wood base units and a cleverly designed pantry, nestled into the chimney breast.

Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor.

From the dining room, a door opens to the charming sitting room with dual aspect windows and beautiful, wide-plank wooden floor. A woodburner is set into the hearth, and this lovely room offers a relaxing vibe to read or entertain friends.

On the first floor, the character continues with beamed ceilings, beautiful wall panelling and windows overlooking the lovely garden.

There is a principal bedroom with a window overlooking the garden and an en-suite bathroom with a panelled bath and shower attachment, WC, and wash basin. There are two further double bedrooms, both with windows to the back of the property and views to the village.
