Property description

A Grade II listed part tiled part thatched detached cottage in the conservation area of the village with views of the local church.

The cottage is believed to date in part from the 17th century with a later extension and a thatch refurbishment, including installation of a new ridge scheduled for January 2025. The 1,441 sq. ft. of accommodation includes three reception rooms and a kitchen which has solid wood units, a solid fuel Aga which has been converted to oil, and space for a washing machine and dishwasher. A stable door leads to the rear garden. There is also a ground floor bathroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms. Two can be accessed from the original part of the cottage, via the stairs from the kitchen, and have views to the front. The triple aspect guest bedroom is accessed via stairs from the sitting room. Remote control electric gates with a side access lead to the enclosed rear garden which has a carport and a timber garage with a connecting workshop with power and lighting on a timer.

Principal Reception Rooms

A porch with a pitched tiled roof shelters a timber front door which leads into a dining room with wood flooring and exposed beams and timbers which both continue into the adjoining snug. The dining room also has an inglenook fireplace with an exposed brick surround and hearth. The dual aspect sitting room has an exposed brick inglenook fireplace housing a log burner, exposed beams and timbers, and a staircase to the guest bedroom.
