4 bedroom cottage for sale

A wonderful Grade II listed family home in a prominent position in the heart of this most popular village, with four beautiful bedrooms and a delightful garden.

THE PROPERTY
Dating back to the early 17th century and justifiably Grade II listed of architectural and historical importance, first glimpses of number 6 The Square are most impressive, with its most attractive façade constructed of stone render under a pretty thatched roof.

On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with very well-proportioned rooms retaining many of the original features including exposed wooden beams and original sash windows and shutters.

The main reception room is fantastic, with a large inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove and even with its original bread oven intact. This forms the perfect hub of the house with plenty of room for a number of sofas and even a piano! Alongside this room is a large study, with stripped wooden flooring, a very attractive fireplace and direct access out to the delightful walled garden. Like many rooms in the house, it has tall sash windows taking full advantage of this property's fantastic position in the Square opposite the church. On the ground floor is also a good-sized kitchen with views over the garden and dining room.

The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases with four beautiful bedrooms, the principal bedroom with an adjoining WC and open plan bath. There is also a separate very good-sized family bathroom.

To the rear of the property is a delightful enclosed walled garden with a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining, and a door with pedestrian access to the street behind.

All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in a fantastic and idyllic yet very convenient location.
