ATTRACTIVE PERIOD COTTAGE IN POPULAR VILLAGE LOCATION HAVING GOOD SIZE ACCOMMODATION OVER THREE FLOORS. GARDENS, OFF ROAD PARKING AND DOUBLE GARAGE
Lane End is an attractive Grade II listed period cottage, believed to date back to the late 17th century, occupying a prominent position in the heart of this popular village. Rich in history and character, the property retains many original features while offering spacious accommodation arranged over three floors.
The accommodation is entered via the entrance hall, where stairs rise and turn to the first floor and a useful cloakroom is located off. From here, the property opens into a spacious dining room, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with open fire, period backplate and metal hood. Engineered oak flooring flows through to the adjoining sitting room, creating an attractive and welcoming space. Window seat overlooking the rear garden. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter months.
The sitting room enjoys a triple aspect and is full of character, with a further inglenook fireplace incorporating an open fire grate, exposed stone backdrop and timber ceiling. The kitchen/breakfast room is a good size and fitted with a range of base and eye level cupboards, complemented by contrasting melamine work surfaces and an inset sink unit. There is space for a range of appliances, wood effect vinyl flooring and a stable door providing access to the garden.
To the first floor, the landing provides access to the main bedroom, which benefits from a generous dressing room, together with a further double bedroom and the family bathroom.
The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, one with a large cupboard/wardrobe and a shower room with WC and basin, completing the accommodation.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a historic and characterful village home, combining period features with versatile accommodation across three floors.
