Description

Originally built in the late 1950s, Finch Cottage was thoughtfully extended and refurbished by the current owners in 1998, incorporating reclaimed timber in places to enhance the property’s character and charm. The result is a beautifully individual home, offering deceptively spacious and well-planned accommodation arranged over two floors.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming reception hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. The drawing room is an impressive, naturally light space, enjoying a triple aspect and featuring a beautiful working log-burning stove.

The kitchen has been beautifully fitted in a traditional farmhouse style, with a range of base and eye-level units, granite work surfaces, an underhung sink with mixer tap and a freestanding range-style cooker. Terracotta tiled flooring adds to the country character. A useful walk-in pantry provides excellent additional storage, while a door leads through to the garden room.

The principal bedroom is a spacious and characterful room, benefiting from useful eaves storage and an en-suite bathroom.
