A quaint, Grade II Listed three bedroom cottage with spacious accommodation and plentiful character having a forecourt garden and overlooking the green of a quintessential English village.

The Property
A date stone citing 1732 sits above the main entrance which leads into a stone built porch and in turn into the sitting room, which is a large square room with exposed stone walls and original inglenook fireplace housing a welcoming wood-burning stove. The room has a dual aspect and overlooks the village green and there are interesting features such as the built in bread oven, thought to have been used by the villagers in years gone by.

Off the living room is a useful study/craft room with additional storage and beyond this lies the ground floor WC.

A low doorway beneath the stairs, thought to be the original back door to the cottage, leads into the kitchen which has built in storage and freezer to one wall, steps up to the recently added rear porch and a second set of steps up to the main kitchen area. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke solid wood units incorporating attractive details such as traditional plate rack and work surfaces topped with granite. Integral appliances include an electric oven and large induction hob, together with dishwasher, fridge and a sink with a view through the window to the rear. Returning to the lower level a large dining room can be found to the front of the property also benefitting from a wood-burning stove.

Off the sitting room a return staircase rises to the first floor having a small window on the half landing providing more natural light. Three double bedrooms are located to the southerly front-aspect of the cottage, each with views over the village green and the master having a large built in cupboard and traditional style cast iron fireplace for decoration.

A short flight of steps lead up to the well proportioned bathroom. This room incorporates a separate shower cubicle, roll top cast-iron bath, WC, bidet and wash hand basin. One wall is tiled to dado height and a large frosted window means the room is naturally light and airy. To the far end of the bathroom is a walk in laundry cupboard providing space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Externally there is a forecourt garden enclosed by walling and laid with a stone patio. This is a low maintenance area for outside entertaining with pleasant views over the village.
