A charming and beautifully presented character cottage, centrally positioned within this picturesque village. Having undergone a full program of renovation and being thoughtfully extended, the property now offers a high specification kitchen and stylish bathrooms, complemented by attractive features including solid oak doors throughout and neutral decor. Generous, sunny gardens complete this delightful village home.

Accommodation

As with many period cottages, the principal day-to-day access is from the rear, leading into a welcoming lobby which opens directly into a stunning, farmhouse-style open plan kitchen/dining room. This impressive space forms the heart of the home and is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is well appointed with shaker-style base and drawer units, solid oak worktops and a double ceramic sink. There is ample space for a large farmhouse table, seating and a sofa, creating a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, as well as space for a dishwasher and an American-style fridge/freezer. French doors open onto the terrace, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors.

A door from the kitchen leads to a useful utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and housing the oil-fired boiler.

The sitting room is a comfortable and inviting space, featuring an exposed stone and brick fireplace. Additional storage is neatly tucked beneath the staircase.

On the first floor, a generous landing leads to three double bedrooms and a beautifully fitted family bathroom. The bathroom includes a ‘P’-shaped bath with shower over, vanity unit, WC and a large airing cupboard.

The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a stylish ensuite bathroom, fitted with a roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure.

Outside

To the front of the cottage are attractive shrub and flower beds, retained by natural stone walling and wrought iron gates. A driveway to the side provides ample parking and is accessed via a timber five-bar gate.

The rear gardens are a particular feature of the property, being of a pleasant size and enjoying a sunny, south-westerly aspect. Laid mainly to lawn, they are interspersed with a wide variety of well-tended flowering plants and shrub borders, along with several seating areas. A terrace extends from the rear of the house, accessed from both the kitchen and lobby, providing a wonderful space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A recently constructed detached garage, attractively clad and supplied with power and lighting, completes the outside space.

P.S. A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
