Description
A charming 16th century Grade II listed cottage occupying a peaceful rural setting having been recently improved and being sold with no onward chain. The house is of timber frame with attractive red clay-tiled roof and plastered elevations with characterful accommodation arranged over two levels. There are two reception rooms, a cottage kitchen, a utility room and a ground floor bedroom incorporating a study recess.
To the first floor there is a bathroom and the further three bedrooms with the principal bedroom providing a newly fitted en suite shower room.
Externally the gardens have been well maintained providing a wealth of colour all-year round. The gardens wrap around the cottage and immediate outbuildings which are currently being used for storage purposes.
The cottage has been beautifully enhanced and decorated in neutral tones and is approached from the front into a small entrance lobby with access to a dining room and sitting room comprising exposed timbers and open fires. To the rear of the cottage is a spacious utility room and cottage-style kitchen/breakfast room comprising Aga and a range of eye and base level units with external access. To the side of the cottage is a dual- aspect bedroom incorporating home office facilities. There are two independent staircases rising to the first floor which are accessed from the sitting room and utility room. The split-level landing leads to three first floor bedrooms, both providing walk-in wardrobes, with the principal also enjoying a newly fitted luxury en suite shower room. Concluding the accommodation is modern family bathroom.

The garden provides several terraced seating areas and a vast amount of natural seclusion offered by a variety of trees including willow and fig.
