The beautiful surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes Bewl Water Reservoir, reputedly the largest area of inland water in the South East, where a wide range of water sports can be enjoyed.

Description: The property is a well presented double fronted end of terrace period cottage that has been sympathetically updated over time to combine period features with modern day tastes, providing a living space that is light and full of character.

With external elevations of brick and weather boarding beneath a slate tiled roof and new double glazed sash windows, the accommodation includes on the ground floor; a good-sized entrance hall with access to a useful cellar, a spacious and very welcoming double aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and double doors leading to a dining room (ideal as an additional bedroom or study, if required) which overlooks the garden, a good sized kitchen/breakfast room with a range of painted wall and base units with tiled & wooden edge worksurfaces with tiled splashbacks, a gas hob and double oven and space for various appliances including a fridge/freezer, a rear lobby with a useful sink with a door leading to the garden and a cloakroom. On the first floor there is a landing with an airing cupboard, 3 double bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom.

Outside, steps lead up to a part enclosed pretty front garden with a gate and a picket fence which also has a lawned area to the side with a border of mature shrubs. There is parking to the side with steps leading to a small terraced area and a gate which leads to the rear garden.

The rear garden is a real feature of the property. Mainly laid to lawn there are various borders with mature plants, shrubs and trees, and for the majority of the garden there is a delightful wooded backdrop which provides a good degree of privacy. There is a studio/outside office with power and a shed and the garden has hedging and fencing on all sides.

Across from the cottage is extra parking for 3 cars and an additional plot of land of approximately ½ an acre which includes areas of grass, mature plants and trees and views in part of the surrounding countryside. Ideal for many uses, including a vegetable garden (there is an existing greenhouse), live stock or a play area, this is a wonderful addition to the property.
