Whilst the front elevations give you an idea of what lies in wait, going through the side gate into the delightful sun trap rear garden really sets the scene. A useful former conservatory is now used as a utility area having appliance space, worktop, cupboards and ample room for outdoor clothing and footwear.

A fine half glazed front door leads into the hall with a wide straight run of stairs facing and the kitchen/breakfast room to the right and the sitting room to the left. The latter is a fabulous double aspect beamed room being of a good size having a deep under stairs cupboard for storage and a most impressive inglenook fireplace with slate hearth, stone facing and former bread oven. Leading off is found a ground floor bedroom that is currently used as an office/study complete with ensuite shower room.

Crossing back through the hall the refitted kitchen/breakfast room awaits, being a great food prep and entertaining area. As it is triple aspect and having a well-positioned door there is ample natural light, plenty of work surfaces and an extensive range of wall, floor and drawer units giving ample storage.

There even being a separate pantry cupboard with tiled shelf. Appliances include a 4-ring electric hob with double oven under and plenty of room for under counter fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Complementing this room is the marvellous slate floor.

The stairs are unusually wide for a cottage and lead to a generous sized galleried landing having extensive hanging and shelved cupboards. All three bedrooms are doubles each having their own individuality and one has its own ensuite shower room. Finishing off the accommodation is a bathroom comprising a panelled bath with independent shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Garden
There is a gated gravel garden running along the front of the cottage that is ideal for potted plants. The garden at the back is a true delight and sun trap with the orientation of the sun working its way across from the left to the right.

A decking sits adjacent to the house and offers a great space for al fresco entertaining from which you can enjoy the garden. Planting includes a fine acer in the middle of the lawn whilst bordering the lawn and close boarded fencing are beds with clematis, bamboo, tulips, aquilegia, grasses and such like. Within the garden is found a very useful newly installed log cabin.
