2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Dating back to the 1700s, the building was once a coaching inn and later a public house before being thoughtfully converted approximately 30 years ago into four individual cottages. Holly Cottage is one of these, retaining an abundance of original features that give the home warmth, charm and authenticity.

The front door opens into a spacious and light filled reception/dining room, where attractive period details immediately set the tone.
Original exposed beams, a beautiful wooden floor running throughout the ground floor, fitted storage and an open fireplace create a welcoming space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

From here, there are outstanding views across the neighbouring countryside, a constant reminder of the home's idyllic rural setting.

The cosy lounge offers a perfect retreat, centred around a wood burning stove with a traditional brick surround.

Adjacent is the characterful vaulted ceiling kitchen, fitted with ample wall and base units, solid wood worktops, a ceramic Butler sink and a Rangemaster double oven. A practical yet charming space that suits the period style of the cottage beautifully.

A small set of steps lead up to a useful utility/boot room at the rear of the property, providing additional storage, space for laundry appliances and direct access to the garden, ideal for country living.

On the first floor, the bathroom is tastefully appointed with a bath and handheld shower, Fired Earth pedestal basin, WC and heated towel rail.

The principal bedroom enjoys far reaching countryside views, plentiful fitted storage cupboards and the rare delight of an original open fireplace.
Bedroom two is a generous double with high ceilings and fitted storage.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a peaceful and private space, with mature shrubs and borders. The first patio is finished in York stone with multiple steps leading to additional lawned area and additional patio, perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply enjoying the surrounding tranquillity. The garden benefits from a useful storage shed.

The property further benefits from oil fired central heating with a Nest thermostat, a septic tank, and driveway parking for one vehicle.
