3 bedroom cottage

A stain glass door is a wonderful entrance into this rather special property. The two reception rooms both feature original ingle knock fireplaces, original beams, brick weave floors and are cosy, but very light spaces. The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid wood wall and base units with a combination of granite and solid wood worksurfaces, open plan to the dining room with exposed brickworks walls and original beams. The first staircase leads to bedrooms one with built in wardrobes and cupboard and bedroom three, both with high ceilings. The second staircase leads to bedroom two, again with a high ceiling and views over the courtyard to the rear. The ground floor bathroom is accessed via the rear hall which includes an original bread oven, beams to the walls and is a perfect space for coats and muddy boots.
