3 bedroom detached house for sale

Dating from the 18th century, Danny Cottage is a very pretty thatched property offering sensitively modernised accommodation arranged over two floors. It presents the opportunity to continue its use as a high-quality holiday let or to use it as a stunning family home with C3 residential use. Retained period features include casement windows, exposed wall and ceiling beams and some original brick-tiled flooring. The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall, which gives access into a large triple aspect sitting room with a fireplace with electric woodburning stove, a timberframed plastered partition and a glazed display showing part of the original wattle-and-daub construction. On the opposite side the generous kitchen/dining room has a range of wall and base units, Belfast sink, modern integrated appliances, space for a good-sized table and a door to the rear. On the vaulted first floor the property offers two generous double bedrooms, both with feature windows, the principal bedroom benefitting from an inter-connecting dressing room with en suite bathroom, suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required, together with a modern family bathroom.

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a tarmac driveway providing private parking and giving access to a detached thatched garage. The generous garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with specimen trees and features numerous seating areas, a front aspect terrace and a further decked seating area, all ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
