An attractive brick and flint, period house with fabulous rural views and delightful gardens.

Description

Built in the late 1800 and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the property has been in the same family for over 70 years. Chester Cottage is in need of upgrading and re-decoration, but has the potential of becoming a beautiful village home in a truly picture postcard location.

To the right the sitting room with wood burning stove, across the hall to the other reception room also having a wood burning stove and access through to the southerly aspect conservatory which provides an excellent place to sit and enjoy the rural views and indeed the delightful gardens.

Off the dining room to the rear is where the kitchen is located.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, those to the front have excellent views and the bedroom to the rear is double aspect. A small study/possible fourth bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor.
