Bought over 30 years ago by the current owner, Saddlers which was formerly a saddlery, is a very attractive rendered and part timber clad cottage set well back from the road. Within the last 16 years the former garage has been imaginatively converted into an annexe with two bedrooms and has been recently successfully let on Air B & B. Saddlers has been well looked after and has been comprehensively modernised; works have included a new pressurised water system installed 5-6 years ago. Within the last six months the property has had electrical rewiring throughout the ground floor, new floor and wall units and re-plastering in the kitchen. Other improvements within the last 6 months have included redecoration throughout, a new family bathroom, new carpets in the sitting room and upstairs. Saddlers now appears to be in excellent order and is ready to move into without any additional expense.
The property is approached off the road through timber gates onto a large gravelled car parking and turning area, adjoining which is an area of wild garden. The front garden is screened by a tall fence and hedging from the lane and is to lawn with well stocked flower and shrubs borders. There is a substantial secure lean- to store attached to the northern elevation with light and power. The majority of the garden is to the rear and is to lawn with tall laurel hedging on one side with post and rail fencing backing onto open fields. There is a raised pond, and an area of timber decking. Adjoining the annex, there is a small gravelled area flanked by picket fencing.
The annexe is approached via the rear garden and comprises a large living room/kitchen, a downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room and a further bedroom (with restricted ceiling height) at first floor level.

Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage.
