The Property - The property is principally accessed from the east into a useful Entrance Porch, ideal for storing boots and coats following walks in the surrounding countryside, this then leading through to an inner Hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor with storage beneath and a door opens into a Study, perfect for those working from home or for use as a further Reception Room.

The Hallway culminates at double-doors which open into a wonderfully welcoming Sitting Room, complete with a bay window which overlooks the front and a range of exposed ceiling timbers, with the room arranged around a partially exposed-stone inglenook which houses a multi-fuel burner. The Sitting Room then gracefully segues through to a Dining Area, again with exposed timbers, which offers possibilities for more formal dining occasions, or for use as a Family Room or similar, and from where patio doors exit into a delightful Garden Room with views to the rear and doors which open onto the same.

Beyond the Sitting Room is a delightfully open-plan Kitchen/Breakfast Room which extends to almost 8m in length and serves as the heart of this charming home, with a range of fitted units complemented by a further bay window onto the front and a door directly onto the gardens. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful Utility Room and a Shower Room.

Stairs rise from the Inner Hallway to a first floor landing with recessed storage cupboard, from where doors provide access into four well proportioned Bedrooms, each enjoying elevated views across the village and countryside beyond, and each able to comfortably accommodate a double bed; with bedrooms One and Two benefitting from integrated storage. Positioned alongside Bedroom Four is a family Bathroom which serves the Bedrooms and comprises a panelled bath, shower, hand basin, and low flush WC.

Outside - The property is complemented by particularly generous gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.23ac; accessed via double-gates which open onto a tarmac/gravelled driveway situated alongside the cottage and providing ample space for a number of vehicles, this leading on to a detached Garage (approx. 5.41m x 3.24m) which is presently utilised as an office/workshop, with power and light laid on.

To the rear of the property are well maintained gardens which offer an expanse of shaped lawn interspersed with, and bordered by, a number of established floral beds and mature trees, alongside a range of attractive seating areas which represent ideal spots for outdoor dining and entertaining.
