Description
Willow Cottage dates back several hundred years and is Grade II listed. Set under a picturesque thatched roof, the house has been tastefully modernised and updated over the years to provide characterful, unique living spaces.

In the main house there are some lovely receptions spaces including a snug sitting room, study, open lounge / dining room and the kitchen, which opens onto a courtyard area of garden adjacent to an open field. There is also a guest cloakroom, together with a ground floor bedroom and shower room. Upstairs, there a three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
As you approach the house, there is a parking area for several vehicles in front of the garage / annex. This is a substantial building of around 1975 sq ft with a large open plan workshop area with inspection pit on the ground floor as well as various other rooms over two levels, including a kitchenette, shower room and WC. There is a disused lift connecting the floors, making this an ideal area for use as an extended living area for relatives.
The gardens of Willow Cottage extend to just over 0.4 of an acre and wrap around the house providing a wonderful range of compartmentalised spaces offering much interest all year round. The current owners have tastefully landscaped and planted a delightful selection of specimen trees, shrubs and plants as well as creating a dedicated vegetable patch.
