4 bedroom cottage

Never judge a book by its cover. Surrounded by woodland, paddocks and views over a lake is this completely bespoke Grade II listed property. Oozing an abundance of character features including exposed flagstone flooring, beams and a charming internal bridge linking bedroom two to the main landing. The quirky accommodation comprises entry via a solid oak arched entrance door into a hallway where the lounge and dining rooms are found. Both of these rooms have part panelled walls, leaded light windows, and fireplaces. There is a versatile room to this part of the property which is currently used as a sizable study but could easily make a fourth bedroom. A step up takes you to the kitchen with island unit and attractive stairs to the first floor, bedroom three, a utility/boot room and bathroom complete the ground floor. From the galleried landing are bedrooms one and two and a shower room. Externally the frontage makes the most of this idyllic setting, it is predominantly lawned and enjoys the views. A driveway provides off road parking for three vehicles and hidden away is the courtyard garden to the rear. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property steeped in character and history in an enviable, semi-rural setting.
