The remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned, with one currently being used as a dressing room. The family bathroom is centrally positioned and comprises a shower, wash hand basin and WC.

The character continues upstairs, with exposed beams adding to the charm and reflecting the age and history of this lovely Victorian home.

Outside, the property has a generous front garden enclosed by an attractive white picket fence, adding to the cottage’s traditional appeal. Parking is on street at the front of the property.
