Located in an enviable position surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and picturesque views, this characterful cottage is nestled within a quiet countryside lane offering a fantastic opportunity for anyone wishing to own a slice of rural life. Built approximately seventeen years ago, this appealing property has been designed to reflect a characterful cottage style and offers versatile living accommodation with its sitting room and dining room, plus the added benefit of a spacious open plan kitchen-diner complete with underfloor heating and a utility room.

Furthermore, the bedroom accommodation is equally as special with three spacious double-sized rooms, featuring en-suite shower rooms within two of the bedrooms.
