About the property.
Puzzle Tree Cottage is a lovely four bedroom cottage with an abundance of character, in a quiet, rural setting on the edge of this desirable village. The cottage dates back to the1870's with an extension in the 1970's and 1995. The property was fully re-wired and the lead on the roof was replaced in 2019. New windows and a new central heating system are recent upgrades as of 2024. The property has generous accommodation with open plan living, making this home perfect for a countryside lifestyle.
About the inside.
Inside, the property has plenty of space, with accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, an entrance porch opens to the sitting room which is a lovely cosy space with an open fire and decorative surround. Stairs rise to the first floor and a door opens to a fabulous country fitted kitchen with terracotta floor tiles, Belfast sink, range oven and space and plumbing for dishwasher. A stable door opens to the gardens and a door opens to the utility room/cloakroom, with further space for appliances. At the other end of the kitchen is the opening to the dining room, making this a wonderful open space for families, and from here, double doors open to the sun room which is an upgraded conservatory with solid roof and heating system.
Upstairs, there are three good double bedrooms, with the fourth a single, and a family bathroom with corner bath and separate shower cubicle.
About the outside.
The driveway for Puzzle Tree Cottage offers parking for a number of cars. The property has generous gardens, front, side and rear; very peaceful and private, giving a real feeling of seclusion. To the front of the cottage, the garden features a glorious Puzzle Tree and gives a wonderful place to sit and take in the view. To the side, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a raised vegetable bed and beyond the garden wall, are views over adjoining countryside. To the rear of the property, a stable door opens from the kitchen to a gravelled seating area, ideal for dining and entertaining family and friends. Steps lead up to another large area of lawn, offering a great space for children and pets to explore. There also is a double garage that is currently used for storage.
