We have pleasure in offering to the market this delightful unique character cottage which offers a deceptive level of accommodation approaching 2,000 sq ft and benefits from the addition of current planning approval to extend the ground floor accommodation, additional bedroom with ensuite shower room and studio further, which offers excellent potential particularly for those with a slightly higher budget.

The current accommodation is more than adequate for the majority of purchasers requirements, and is certainly large enough for families who are maybe upsizing or relocating into the village making use of the local school as well as appreciating the property's beautifully established and generous corner plot which extends to in excess of 0.25 acres.

The current accommodation is tastefully presented throughout and offers a versatile layout over two floors, offering 3 reception areas including a stunning dual aspect sitting room with a wealth of character including an inglenook fireplace and heavily beamed ceiling, conservatory and separate study which both link through into a light and airy breakfast kitchen appointed with a range of modern units, granite work surfaces and finished in Heritage style colours, with access out into the rear garden. In addition to the ground floor is a useful utility and cloakroom, and to the first floor 3 double bedrooms, the master bedroom being of generous proportion and offering a walk through dressing area with fitted furniture and spacious ensuite with shower and roll top bath, and a separate family bathroom.

The property offers a wealth of character and features, and we understand some of the older parts of the cottage date back to the late 1700's, with every room offering its own individuality and combines to create a delightful home.

As well as the main accommodation, the property also benefits from a wonderful, useful studio with wood burning stove, shower room, WC and sink, converted from the former double garage, which would be perfect for those working from home, or annexe style facility, subject to necessary planning consent.

The gardens run to three sides, and are generous by modern standards, lying in the region of 0.25 acres with a generous level of parking which continues to the side and rear of the property. The rear garden is south westerly facing and mainly laid to lawn, well stocked, in abundance with a variety of trees and shrubs. There is also a further courtyard garden to the rear of the property, enclosed to all sides providing an attractive sheltered outdoor space and links back into the main reception. Electrics for a hot tub.

Overall, viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
