Tenure : Freehold -

Description - This lovely cottage was built in about 1859 and is distinguished by its attractive brick and flint facade. The interior has immense character and has been sympathetically refurbished over recent years combining some attractive period features with carefully chosen fittings and finishes including period fireplaces, boarded floors and solid Douglas fir latch doors with cast iron furniture. The sitting room has an open fireplace with solid fuel stove and an extension to the rear of the cottage provides a dining/family room with vaulted ceiling open to ridge height and bi-fold doors to the garden. There are two bedrooms on the first floor with newly fitted bathroom and a large loft with plaster finished walls and roof lights approached via a staircase from the principal bedroom.

A converted brick built Victorian washouse with pitched slate roof lies close to the rear of the cottage. This building has been converted to provide a unique 'home office' gym and entertaining space and includes an original working fireplace, exposed brick faced walls and piers and vaulted ceiling.
