SHORT WALK TO MAINLINE RAILWAY STATION TO LONDON WATERLOO! ‘2 Newton Road’ is a very pretty, period, natural stone, terraced cottage situated in a desirable, quintessential village centre address, a stones through from the pretty village green and popular pub. The cottage has been the subject of stylish renovation and improvement by the current owners. It retains many appealing character cottage features including natural stone fireplace with cast iron log burning stove and exposed beams. However, it boasts an eclectic blend of the old and the modern with contemporary open-plan social living space and a very good flow of natural light from a sunny westerly aspect at the front. It has a small, private front garden boasting a sunny west-facing aspect with some flowerbeds and a seating area. It still has scope for further conversion and reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permission. The main cottage is in beautiful decorative order throughout. It is heated by modern electric radiators and a cast iron log burning stove. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and benefits from uPVC double glazing.

On the first floor there is a landing area, one generous double bedroom and a family bathroom. On the second floor there is a large attic room currently used as a generous double bedroom / workroom. There are countryside walks not far from the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car!
