The Property - Full of warmth, charm and individuality, this delightful three-bedroom semi-detached stone cottage is believed to date back to the 1860s and was originally built to provide accommodation for local railway workers.

The property retains a wonderful sense of its Victorian heritage, with attractive stone elevations, impressive high ceilings, deep window sills and character features throughout. Inside, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious, with well-proportioned rooms, plenty of natural light and a welcoming, homely feel.

The ground floor offers a practical utility room and shower room, leading through to the country-style kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen provides a good range of storage and worktop space together with a breakfast bar, while an open archway creates a natural flow into the dining room.

The dining room sits at the heart of the home and provides plenty of space for a family dining table, with built-in storage and shelving adding both character and practicality. From here, an open archway leads into the particularly inviting sitting room.

The sitting room is a lovely, bright double-aspect space with plenty of room for comfortable seating. A fireplace with wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and complements the cottage's period character.

Stairs rise from the dining room to a charming galleried first-floor landing, where an original Victorian cast-iron fireplace provides an unexpected and distinctive feature.

There are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being an especially generous double-aspect room featuring another beautiful original Victorian cast-iron fireplace. Bedroom two is also a comfortable bedroom, while the third bedroom is ideally suited as a single bedroom, home office or study.

The family bathroom continues the character of the property and is fitted with a traditional-style suite, including an attractive freestanding roll-top bath with claw feet.

Outside - The garden is a particularly charming feature of the cottage and beautifully complements the character of the house.

Approached through an iron gate, a pathway leads around the property to a secluded paved seating area, creating a lovely spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The main garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has an established, cottage-garden feel, with lawn, mature planting, colourful borders and raised beds creating plenty of interest and privacy.

To the rear of the property there is also a useful garden shed with light and power, together with a log store, oil tank and boiler.
