The Property
Dating back to the early 1700s, this delightful cottage is full of character, with exposed beams throughout and original internal doors in some rooms. The dining room is a real highlight, featuring a fabulous brick-surround fireplace with a dual-fuel log burner, alongside an original bread-proving cupboard that’s now been given a new lease of life as a quirky bookshelf.
The modern kitchen has been tastefully updated and includes an integrated dishwasher, bringing a fresh, practical feel to the home while sitting comfortably alongside its period charm.
Further improvements include new double glazing throughout, a recently installed boiler, a useful utility area and a downstairs cloakroom finished with stylish panelling and contemporary decor.
Upstairs, the main bedroom sits in the loft space, where the current owners have added built-in cupboards and made the most of the eaves with additional storage. The main bathroom adds a touch of everyday indulgence with its Whirlpool spa bath.
A Garden with Room to Unwind
Step outside and discover a garden with plenty of personality and different spaces to enjoy. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, an afternoon spent growing your own vegetables or an evening relaxing with friends, there’s a spot for it all.
The garden features a decked area at the rear, two vegetable patches, a summerhouse and a shed for storage. A second seating area beneath the stunning wisteria offers a lovely place to sit back and enjoy the surroundings.
There’s also a home office built by the current owners within the garden courtyard, providing a separate space to work, focus or pursue a favourite hobby.
A private parking space to the rear, where the former garage once stood, adds another welcome practical touch.
