There is also a barn with vending machine where villagers can meet for coffee and cake. The property is twenty two years old and has been the much loved and enjoyed home to our seller since new. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and improved with the addition of the garden room to the rear, which takes in those delightful views. The property has also recently had a new oil fired boiler and hot water cylinder installed. In addition, the property benefits from uPVC double glazing with many windows with a sash opening or cottage style finish and the majority of the ground floor has a beautiful stone tiled floor. This lovely home also has some lovely features, such as brick fireplaces, brick and timber walls, exposed ceiling beams and a fabulous staircase with decorative balustrades. A viewing is absolutely vital to truly appreciate the bright, well proportioned and well laid out interior as well as the location. An early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner.
