Dating to c.1820 this original mill cottage has been extended over more recent years to provide a spacious 4 bed, 2 public room semi-detached family home. With a detached double garage, extensive driveway and large garden with an outlook over open countryside to the rear all the boxes are ticked for a fantastic family home! Offering flexibility in how the accommodation might be used it could work equally well as a 5 bed, 1 public room home or with some alteration (subject to consents) have it’s own little annex in the extension if wished.

Entering into the original part of the home on the ground floor there is the spacious, dual aspect lounge which has a feature fireplace with cosy open fire and a bright picture window to the rear; a large, modern dining kitchen with integrated dishwasher, ceramic hob, double oven, extractor and fridge freezer, this is a sociable area with ample space for dining and with a useful storage cupboard off; the large family bathroom is in the rear extension just off the main hallway and is fitted with a shower cubicle with electric shower, bath, pedestal wash hand basin and w.c. and is completed with a useful storage cupboard.  On the upper level in this part of the house there is a double bedroom just off the mid landing with two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and a shower room from the upper landing.

The extension to the right of the property gives a useful, practical second entrance.  On the ground floor of this area is a double bedroom which offers multiple options for use having patio doors to the garden; the utility room which also has a door to the rear garden; and on the second floor there is a large sitting room which again offers multiple options for use.

There is a large garden to the rear which enjoys an outlook over the open countryside behind.  Mainly laid to lawn with a patio and raised vegetable beds there is lots of scope for the more ‘green fingered’ to develop the garden further or to just enjoy the outdoor space as it is.  To the front there is a long gravel driveway leading to the double garage offering parking for several vehicles, with a pathway and lawn area bounded by mature shrubs and trees giving a cottage feel.

An extensive family home offering lots of options in how you may wish to use the accommodation.
