Additional Information

The property has recently had delightful, new windows installed to the main portion of the house, which are double-glazed. The property has gas fired central heating. Carpets, curtains and certain other extras may be available via separate negotiation.

Front Garden

The cottage occupies a lovely position within the heart of the village and is ideally located for access to various amenities, including a church, school, cricket club, village green, public house and nearby rural walks. To the side, a driveway provides a good amount of parking space, with potential to create more parking space if so desired.

Rear Garden

The rear garden is particularly beautiful and features a delightful terrace running virtually the full width of the home up to the garden room, and delightful pathways leading to various parts of the garden. The upper garden level is mature, features a wonderful amount of planting, a raised flagged terrace and is home to a summerhouse. The rear garden faces in a southerly direction and offers a great deal of character. Within the garden, there is a group of outbuildings which provide a large amount of storage space. One of the buildings belongs to a neighbouring property, so a right of way is afforded over the garden on the pathway. There is also a right of way over the rear pathway for the neighbouring properties for maintenance and the passage of wheelie bins. This works very well within the delightful setting.
