A charming, Grade II listed, detached property, Dell Cottage is believed to have started life as a workers cottage in the early eighteen hundreds. Over the centuries there have been additions and extensions including a double garage, built by the previous owner. Beautifully presented, the property has been well cared for over the years and retains much period detail, together with surprisingly high ceilings to the bedrooms. Original features include an impressive Inglenook fire place, beamed ceilings, pretty leaded casement windows, timber doors and floorboards. A modern addition to the main fireplace is a large wood burning stove, which creates a cosy feature ideal for cooler days.

Every effort has been made by the current owners to create a comfortable home which benefits from modern conveniences, without detracting from the character and charm of the building. During their ownership, of some 30 years, they have extended and added to the kitchen a utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom was added to create a third double bedroom.
Inside, the two main reception rooms are front aspect and offer a plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining. The well fitted kitchen/breakfast room has a range of country style wooden cabinets with matching work surfaces and two inset sinks. All electric, the fitted appliances include an oven, hob and extractor above. There is space for a fridge/freezer. Accessed from the kitchen, a hatch opens into a useful, restricted height basement. There is a cloakroom and a utility room with a further sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom together with a generous loft space above the landing.

The cottage sits back from the lane, sheltered by hedging and a variety of traditional fruit trees, including a Quince, Medlar and Mulberry. The gardens are a particular feature, secluded and sunny, with beautifully planted borders, lawns and paved terraces which enjoy a delightful outlook over the neighbouring pond. A feature has been made of the natural spring, adding to the tranquil feel of the garden. To the side of the cottage is a gravel drive which provides parking for several vehicles to the front of a large double garage with a workshop above.
