ACCOMMODATION

Offered for sale with no onward chain and nestled in a truly picturesque semi rural setting, this stunning 19th-century detached cottage was originally two workers cottages which were acquired by the present owner in the mid 1970's. Since then it has been renovated and extended with a two storey side extension, single storey rear extension and the addition of an entrance porch and cloakroom to the left hand side. 

The ground floor boasts four inviting reception rooms providing ample space for entertaining or relaxation. The heart of the home is the impressive 18ft L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully fitted and offering wonderful views of the garden, paddock and countryside beyond. A utility room adds practicality to the layout.

On the first floor the large landing area is now utilised as a small home office space. There are three generous double bedrooms with the main bedroom featuring a juliet balcony and offering views across the garden, paddock and countryside. The family bathroom is generously proportioned and features a five piece heritage suite with a freestanding double end bath and a separate shower cubicle.

Externally the property enjoys a road frontage in excess of 300ft. To the immediate front of the house there is a hedged boundary and a driveway provides off road parking for up to three cars and access to a large detached double garage with a generous workshop area to the rear.

The overall plot extends to almost 1.8 acres with the right hand side of the property being formal gardens which extend to around 0.32 acres . To the rear there is a separate 1.45 acre paddock which is predominantly left as meadow land with mature trees and features two natural wildlife ponds.
