This charming stone cottage is built of local limestone and thought to date from the early 1700s. It was probably two or three smaller dwellings but combined in the early 20th Century into a single, comfortable home. There is plenty of character with many of the original features left in situ, including the beamed ceilings and delightful window seats.
The house sits back from the roadside behind its own garden and drive and enjoys views to the south over its large garden.
The accommodation is set over two floors. The porch to the front has a beautiful stone floor. An oak door opens to the dining room. This has an oil-fired Rayburn set into the fireplace, and this serves the hot water and heating. The window to the front has a seat beneath. The cupboard beneath the stairs provides useful storage.
The elegant sitting room enjoys beautiful light from its front windows and French doors that open to the garden on the southside. The wood burning stove is set in to the inglenook. Bespoke bookshelves are fitted to the far end of the room.
The kitchen /breakfast room is a well-proportioned and light room with great storage in the wall and base units and there are extensive worksurfaces with inset sink. Electric oven, grill and hob provide the cooking facilities. There is space and plumbing for the washing machine and dishwasher. A breakfast bar is useful for mealtimes. A stable door opens to the conservatory, which is a hardwood and double-glazed extension to the accommodation. The slate floor is attractive and practical, as doors open directly to the garden. Storage is built-in along one wall.
The first floor is approached via stairs from the dining room. The landing provides access to each of the three double bedrooms and to the bathroom. The airing cupboard on the landing holds the hot water cylinder and provides some storage.
The main bedroom is a superb size and enjoys a dual aspect with views over garden. Wardrobes are fitted to one wall. An en suite shower room is fitted to one corner. The second and third bedrooms are comfortable double rooms, and each enjoys a view over the garden. The spacious bathroom is beautifully fitted with a bath with shower above, wash basin and WC.
Appletree Cottage sits back from the roadside behind a low stone wall and front garden. The gravelled drive runs across and to the side of the house, proving plenty of parking. There is ample space for the construction of garaging (subject to planning permission), adjacent to the log store. The rear garden is delightful. Stone steps lead up from the house to the shingled terrace. Lavender and shrub beds border the shaped lawn. A sunken garden is set to one side. Across the lawn is a substantial garden store. The garden is enclosed by fencing and a low stone wall.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
