We have pleasure in offering to the market this particularly attractive, period cottage located in the village conservation area, overlooking the pretty village church, right at the heart of this highly regarded and much sought after village.
Understood to have originally been three period cottages the property was later converted into one deceptive dwelling which offers around 1,700 sq.ft. of internal accommodation occupying what is a delightful, established, plot with an excellent level of off road parking and a good deal of privacy.
The property offers a considerable level of character, many rooms offering period fireplaces and having exposed beams, attractive cottage latch ledge and brace doors, a handmade farmhouse style kitchen and renovated sash windows.
The property is particularly versatile in its layout offering up to four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and three reception areas. The main bedroom and ensuite accessed off a secondary staircase also making it ideal as a guest annexe suite. In addition there is a useful utility and ground floor cloak room. Every room offers its own individuality and elements of character which combine to create a fantastic home perfect for families, particularly with its close proximity to the village school.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful location right at the heart of the village, fronting Launder Street but with additional access to the rear off Church Street. This leads onto a substantial driveway providing more than ample off road parking and, in turn, to a mainly walled, established, rear garden which offers a good degree of privacy as well as a generous outdoor space which encompasses a useful run of brick and pantiled outbuildings.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this delightful and truly individual home.
