3 bedroom semi-detached house

This delightful cottage is the archetypal of a mid 18th Century Englishman’s home, steeped in history and brimming with character. Its position adjoining the Kings Head public house and within the shadow of the fine Norman church of St Nicholas, set the scene and add greatly to its charm. The traditional Georgian façade with its sash windows, capped doorway and fanlight, open into a smartly presented and freshly decorated home that offers a surprising 1007 sq.ft of living space. It still retains an abundance of idiosyncratic features expected of a property of its age including the low beamed ceilings, open fireplaces, sloping floors and brace & latch doors. The kitchen/breakfast room is a later addition with its catslide roof and opens onto the walled, southerly backing garden. Its historic appeal is not at the expense of modern day comforts, as a modern gas central heating boiler was installed in 2018 and it even has an upstairs bathroom.
