Leading from the kitchen into a stunning drawing room with brick and beam fireplace and beams throughout with 2 period integral cupboards either side.

The traditional Georgian cottage stairs with original wood panelling leads up to the first floor where there are two good size bedrooms, which are double bedrooms both with built in traditional wardrobes and airing cupboard. The new and generous 4 set family bathroom is located on the ground floor and beautifully fitted with marble wall tiles and a freestanding Victorian bath Burlington handbasin and lavatory. The walk-in glass shower cubicle benefits from being sunken and is of generous size with a power shower.

The property is set within a beautiful, secluded cottage garden to the rear. The cottage is approached
along an attractive herringbone brick pathway flanked by pretty flower borders and abundance of fragrant mature Roses, leading up to the half-glazed door of the Cottage and the rear lawns and Rose hedging.
