A rare opportunity to purchase a really interesting, individual, detached period cottage located within a particularly well regarded area of the village and occupying a manageable, low maintenance plot making it perfect for those downsizing from larger dwellings or alternatively single or professional couples.
The cottage has seen a tasteful programme of improvements over the years and is beautifully presented throughout, benefitting from relatively neutral decoration and modern but traditional style fixtures and fittings which harmonise with the original character and features of the property. Each each room offers its own individuality, enhancing the cosy homely atmosphere.
The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall with useful utility off and a cottage style kitchen fitted with a generous range of units and integrated appliances. This links through into a delightful sitting room with a beamed ceiling, fireplace and aspect to the front. Double doors lead through into the addition of a useful garden room which provides a further versatile reception space, ideal as either formal dining or an additional sitting room. To the first floor there are two bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and a tastefully appointed bathroom with a traditional style suite.
As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a manageable low maintenance plot fronting College Street with on street parking to the front and pedestrian to an enclosed courtyard style garden at the rear . The garden is large enough to accommodate a seating area but manageable enough for the more reluctant gardener making it ideal as a lock up and leave.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this quaint period cottage within this highly regarded and well served village.
