Understood to have been built in the 16th century of traditional timber framed construction beneath a thatched roof, this charming detached period cottage is listed grade II as being of particular historical and architectural interest. Whilst the cottage offers further scope to improve, retains a wealth of original features including many exposed beams and studwork, Inglenook fireplaces, woodburner, ledge and brace internal doors and brick and timber flooring.
In more recent years a separate annexe/studio was built creating a particularly versatile space for guests or as a home office with kitchenette and shower room.
Benefitting from oil fired radiator central heating, the accommodation currently in brief comprises of an entrance porch leading to an entrance hall with door to a spacious sitting room displaying many original exposed beams, dual aspect windows, redbrick fireplace and stairs off to first floor. The dual aspect kitchen breakfast room is fitted with a range of units providing plenty of drawer and cupboard space beneath preparation surfaces and of particular note is the large Inglenook fireplace with woodburner. From the kitchen breakfast room leads through to a large dual aspect utility/former kitchen with plenty of fitted units and door to rear.
On the first floor stairs lead from the sitting room to a landing with fitted cupboards and leading through to two bedrooms, a dressing room with sink and WC and a separate bathroom with bath and shower enclosure.

To the side of the cottage is a separate studio/annexe creating a useful and particularly versatile space either as a home office or extra guest accommodation with its own kitchenette and separate shower room.
