The front door opens to the reception hall from which the staircase rises to the first floor. The sitting room has a large bay window overlooking the front. It has parquet flooring and a log-burning stove which also serves the adjoining dining room. The refitted triple aspect kitchen/dining room has freestanding shaker style units with solid oak worktops, belfast sink, larder cupboard, Rayburn, a range cooker, washing machine, space and plumbing for dishwasher and slate flooring with French doors opening to the sheltered courtyard garden. The extended accommodation offers an excellent master bedroom with ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobe.

To the front, the garden is laid to lawn with a well-stocked flower bed, a gravel driveway to one side with a five-bar field gate leading to a detached garage and ample parking.
The rear garden is divided into two areas. Immediately adjacent to the cottage is a sheltered and private gravelled ‘courtyard’ garden. Beyond this, the garden is level and laid primarily to lawn with a paved terrace and shrub borders. It backs onto paddocks and enjoys far reaching views. There is a potting shed.
