** PERIOD CHARACTER COTTAGE ** ACCOMMODATION APPROACHING 840 SQ.FT. ** CONTEMPORARY SHOWER ROOM ** 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS ** PERIOD CHARACTER & FEATURES ** CLOSE TO LOCAL AMENITIES ** NO UPWARD CHAIN ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **

An excellent opportunity to purchase a really interesting, double fronted, period cottage which offers internal accommodation approaching 840 sq.ft., located right at the heart of the village, literally yards from its wealth of amenities. It would therefore appeal to a wide audience, whether it be from single or professional couples or potentially even those downsizing from larger dwellings and appreciating its convenient location as well as its low maintenance outdoor space.

The property is offered to the market with no upward chain and has recently benefitted from an updated contemporary shower room. The property has UPVC double glazing and gas central heating but is likely to require a general programme of cosmetic updating and provides a blank canvas for those wishing to place their own mark on a home.

The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall with attractive spindle balustrade staircase with half landing beneath which lies a half cellar and, leading off the hallway, is a dual aspect main reception with live fireplace. The kitchen is a generous space large enough to accommodate a dining area and is fitted with a range of units, providing a pleasant space with an aspect to the front. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the main room again having a dual aspect, and an updated contemporary shower room.

The property occupies a low maintenance plot with a small pathway leading off Market Street and, in turn, to the front door, with on street parking close by. Of course the property also benefits from being within walking distance of the local services and amenities.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
