Understood to have origins dating back to the mid 17th century and listed Grade II as being of particular historical and architectural interest, Farthing Cottage is a beautiful home full of charm and personality, retaining features including a wealth of exposed timbers and studwork, Inglenook fireplaces, brick and pamment flooring, exposed timber floors and ledge and brace internal doors.
In recent years the cottage has been extended to the rear and re-thatched, featuring oil fired radiator central heating the beautifully arranged accommodation currently in brief comprises; an entrance hall with stairs off to first floor and door to a superb dining room with huge Inglenook fireplace, window to front and open studwork separating a useful study area. The sitting room is another charming reception room full of character with red brick fireplace with wood burning stove, exposed timbers, window to front and opening leading through to the breakfast room, an ideal area for entertaining with French doors to gardens and open to the newly re-fitted kitchen. The brand new shaker style kitchen has solid oak worktops, a one and a half Rangemaster ceramic sink and mixer taps, a stunning Rangemaster range cooker with a bespoke cooker hood. There is also an integrated dishwasher and wine cooler. It is a delightful cottage kitchen with a Pamment tiled floor and windows to the rear garden and paddocks beyond. The separate utility area is charming with a butler sink and units and leads to a ground floor shower room and a more recent addition creating a useful boot room with door to garden.
On the first floor is a landing leading to two principle bedrooms, including built-in wardrobe and steps up to a small third bedroom and delightful bathroom with roll top bath.
