The property Located at the heart of this ancient village, overlooking the central green is this fantastic Tudor Cottage that has been improved circa 17th century and then extended by Victorians to provide a suprisingly spacious and practical living space secured behind a walled garden with gated driveway.
The entrance hall to the property is of Victorian build but thoughtfully used a medieval stone style flooring and a turning staircase to first floor with generous storage underneath as well as a ground floor wet room and kitchen to the rear overlooking the garden. Stepping into the first reception takes you further back with exposed beams on walls and ceiling, tiled flooring and an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner, flooded with light due to the dual aspect windows making this an enviable cottage dining room with door leading into the original section of cottage providing a spacious family room with windows looking out into your walled front garden and french doors to the rear.
The Victorian addition has afforded the first floor a fourth double bedroom and bathroom suite without compromising the older three double bedrooms or their character with typically low windows and exposed beams, the master of which also enjoys a quaint little door leading to a small room / dressing area along side the chimney breast.
The property is situated within grounds of approximately a quarter acre of gardens, the walled garden to the front has ample privacy and space for you to utilise but the extensive and enclosed rear garden with mature trees and borders is idealy sized for both the avid gardeners and entertainers alike.
