Knight Frank are delighted to offer this attractive period house with origins dating to the 1700s. It is rare to find a character property of this quality with an enclosed garden and so well placed for the town centre. The property has charming reception rooms and good-sized bedrooms arranged over two floors, with the benefit of off street parking and a barn that has been converted into a garage and two workshops.

Clare Cottage comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, four reception rooms, and a kitchen.

The front door opens into a spacious reception hall with wooden flooring and provides access to the principal reception rooms, kitchen, and stairs to the first floor. The beautiful spacious drawing room is on two levels, with a music room to one end and a living area to the other, with an attractive ornate fireplace and ample space for a dining table. A sitting room is situated at the front of the house with large windows providing lots of natural light.
The kitchen is to the rear of the property with a beautiful arched window overlooking the garden; it has a range of fitted wall and floor units, an Aga and several integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine. From the kitchen is a timber-framed conservatory/dining room that overlooks the garden.
Stairs rise to the spacious first-floor landing with an area currently used as a study. From the landing is the double-aspect principal bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and one with an en suite shower.

To the front of the property is an attractive front path to the front door and a small courtyard area with hedges, giving a sense of privacy. To one side is a driveway with space for two cars and a gate leading to the rear garden. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with several seating areas: a paved terrace to the back of the house, a raised paved area with a gazebo to the rear of the garden and a delightful decked area situated on the south side of the house. The garden is enclosed with a mixture of wooden fencing and mature trees. There is also a very useful outbuilding, originally a barn converted into a single garage and two workshops.
