The property offers two reception rooms, a kitchen and ground floor bathroom, together with three first-floor bedrooms. Outside, there is a generous rear garden extending to over 100ft, a garage with power, a greenhouse, and parking for several vehicles to the rear.

Set along one of the village’s traditional Victorian streets, this attractive three-bedroom Grade II listed red brick cottage offers an abundance of period character and a particularly appealing setting behind traditional iron railings and a small front garden.

The property forms part of an attractive terrace of historic cottages and retains many features in keeping with its age, including sash-style windows, traditional internal doors, painted timber detailing and a fireplace within the principal reception room.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming sitting room positioned to the front of the property. This is a comfortable and characterful space, centred around the traditional fireplace with fitted gas fire and complemented by built-in shelving which provides useful storage while adding to the cottage feel.

An inner door leads through to the dining room, which provides ample space for a family dining table and also connects with the kitchen beyond. The arrangement creates a practical flow through the ground floor whilst retaining the individual character of each room.

The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the property and offers a good number of work-surfaces and storage space. There are two built-in cupboards including a pantry and boiler cupboard.

The kitchen provides access through to the ground floor bathroom as well as the rear garden.

The bathroom is a spacious room and is fitted with a bath and separate shower cubicle as well as a WC and basin.

To the first floor are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front and is a particularly generous room with a pleasant outlook over the traditional street scene. The remaining bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, with bedroom three accessed via bedroom two, an arrangement typical of cottages of this age.

Outside, the property is approached through traditional iron railings with steps rising to the front entrance and established planting helping to create an attractive cottage garden setting.

To the rear is a particularly generous garden extending to over 100ft, providing an excellent amount of outdoor space for a property of this type.

There is a brick built garage with electrically operated roller shutter doors and off road parking in front.

Altogether, this is a charming period home combining the character expected of a Grade II listed Victorian cottage with excellent outside space, useful parking and a highly convenient village setting.
