Property description

A period extended two double bedroom detached thatched cottage with two reception rooms, gated off street parking, a garage and front and rear gardens with countryside views in a village location.

This refurbished historic cottage retains numerous period features including exposed beams, latch and brace timber doors and two original fireplaces (both of which have inset wood burners). But the property has been adapted for modern living with a nearly 18 ft. by over 13 ft. kitchen/breakfast room with a pitched ceiling, which takes advantage of the natural light. The cottage has a combined nearly 1,270 sq. ft of accommodation set over two floors including the garage. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, a dual aspect dining room/snug, a sitting room, and a triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room. The three piece bathroom includes a high flush WC and roll top bath. On the first floor one of the two beamed bedrooms is dual aspect. Gated access opens to gravelled off street parking for up to four cars and leads to a detached timber garage. There are lawned cottage gardens to the front and rear. The west facing rear garden has a paved patio and views across farmland.

Accommodation

The kitchen has been refitted with traditional Shaker style units with contrasting Granite worksurfaces with uplifts and a ceramic butler’s sink. Integrated appliances include a dual zone wine cooler, a fridge/freezer, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a microwave; with space for a range style cooker. Natural stone flooring with underfloor heating extends to a breakfast area with built-in bench seating including storage. This room has a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and is triple aspect with French doors leading to the rear garden. Both dual aspect reception rooms have exposed timber beams and original fireplaces with timber surrounds, each with a wood burning stove.

Outside

Key features of the cottage are the gardens with open aspects to the front and rear. The fields behind create a rural setting whilst still being connected to the village. In addition, there is ample gated off street parking and a detached timber garage with barn doors. The cottage style front garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and a low picket fence. The mainly lawned enclosed rear garden has a sandstone patio for entertaining and an open wire fence to the rear providing uninterrupted views.
