Exterior & Garden Oasis

The property is accessed down a private lane, shared by only a few neighbouring homes, providing private parking for up to two cars. Step through the gate into a delightful, established cottage-style garden. This outdoor haven is cleverly sectioned, featuring a wonderful Indian flagstone patio area perfect for outdoor dining, a tranquil pond, and a charming pergola, all complemented by a lush green lawn to the far side. Access to the home is available via both a main front door and a convenient side door.

Ground Floor Living

Enter the main door to find a home brimming with character. To the right is the vast living room, flooded with natural light from two windows. Offering ample room for any furniture layout, the room features a selection of original features including stunning exposed beams and a striking stone fire surround.

Adjacent is the large dining room, equally bright with two double front windows and another feature fireplace. This space easily accommodates a large dining table and additional furniture, making it perfect for entertaining. From here, there is access down to the practical cellar, an ideal space for storage.

The ground floor is completed by the kitchen, which boasts a selection of solid wood cabinetry for superb storage, built-in appliances, and a handy breakfast bar seating four, making it the perfect casual dining spot. A door from the kitchen leads directly back out to the garden.

Bedroom Three: A versatile room with built-in wardrobes. It will comfortably fit a small double or single bed, or equally serve as a superb home office or nursery.
