The phrase "if the walls could talk" perfectly captures the essence of this property, which is believed to date back to the 1790s and was originally a blacksmith's cottage and workshop.

Over time, Willow Cottage has transformed into a warm and cosy home, without compromising on space. As you approach the property, a welcoming serenity greets you.

The layout of the cottage has clearly evolved over the years, adding to its charm. The kitchen has become the heart of the home-a space that not only allows ample room for honing culinary skills, but also serves as a delightful gathering place for socialising.

The sitting room is a favourite spot for our sellers, who find solace sitting by the log-burner, basking in the cosy atmosphere and enjoying the picturesque views of the garden. For more formal occasions, there is a separate dining room too.

Completing the ground floor is a recently upgraded bathroom, which adds a delightful touch to the cottage. Additionally, for those who consider future possibilities, the dining room could easily be converted into a bedroom, really lending itself to multi-generational living.

Moving to the upper level, the landing provides access to three bedrooms, two of which are double in size, and the principal bedroom enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and breath-taking countryside views.

As our sellers are passionate musicians, the garage has been converted into a studio, which is insultated, and has plumbing and useful loft space. However, it can easily be transformed into a home office or restored to its original purpose as a garage if needed. There is also ample off road parking.

The outdoor space of this property is a welcoming retreat. The garden caters to all, providing ample room for fun with family and friends whilst hosting barbecues. There is even space for the avid gardener to create their very own allotment. The large, insulated shed is perfect for storage too.

This charming cottage, with its rich history, is now ready for someone new to make it their home.
