** STUNNING CHARACTER COTTAGE ** UP TO 4 DOUBLE BEDROOMS ** 2 BATH/SHOWER ROOMS ** 2 MAIN RECEPTIONS ** BESPOKE LIVING KITCHEN ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** SOUTH FACING GARDEN ** NO UPWARD CHAIN **

We have pleasure in offering to the market this stunning brick and stone double fronted archetypal cottage which has been sympathetically renovated and extended over the years to create a beautiful individual detached home at the heart of this highly regarded and much sought after village.

This charming home boasts a wealth of character and features with a delightful homely atmosphere and flooded with light benefitting from a southerly aspect with all rooms looking onto the beautifully established well maintained garden.

The cottage offers up to 4 double bedrooms with the fourth situated in a single storey conversion to the ground floor and includes a contemporary shower room and inner hallway all of which link through into a charming sitting room with French doors leading out into the garden. This area of the house could easily be utilised as an annexe area for extended family, perfect for teenagers or those with a dependent relative requiring ground floor accommodation.

The main cottage is more typical in its layout and from a central entrance hall cottage latch ledge and brace doors lead to a main sitting room with fireplace having log burner stove, heavily beamed ceiling and two windows into the garden. The kitchen is a stunning space appointed with a generous range of bespoke units with granite work surfaces and Rayburn range and is more than large enough to accommodate a dining table and additional seating area, with beamed ceiling and outlook into the garden. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and modern bathroom.

The garden has been lovingly established with off road parking, various seating areas, lawn and well stocked perimeter borders all benefitting from a southerly aspect.

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