The Property - Filled with character features throughout, this well-presented detached cottage has been thoughtfully extended and is enhanced by impressive gardens to front and rear extending to about ¼ of an acre.
A useful porch opens to the entrance hall with a stylish tiled floor, leading to the sitting room with multi-fuel stove and stone fireplace. A dual aspect drawing room leads to the light filled dining room. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room and good sized utility. On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and built-in storage, 3 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The rear garden is a true sanctuary - a paved terrace leads to landscaped, lawned areas bordered by abundant planting designed to attract and support wildlife. Sheltered and private, the garden offers a variety of peaceful seating areas—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
A gated driveway provides ample parking and leads to a garage and workshop. Raised flower beds surround a charming red brick outbuilding which is believed to be part of the former forge. This is currently used for storage but offers great potential for alternative use.
