4 bedroom detached house

This detached 3/4 bedroom detached country cottage is well worthy of closer inspection. The original cob cottage has been extended to both the side and rear in the early 1990's (including the porch), forming accommodation that comprises a sitting room with an inglenook stone fireplace housing a 'Woodwarm' stove, with a clome oven still having a wrought iron door in situ, wooden mantel and slate hearth, an open plan kitchen/dining room benefitting from a range of matching wall and base units and central island, a utility and cloakroom w/c and useful study or 4th bedroom if required.

On the first floor the generous master bedroom has a beam ceiling, built-in wardrobes and exposed floorboards and has a sizable en-suite with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle housing an electric 'Triton' shower. The second bedroom also has a built-in wardrobe and the hall leads to the airing cupboard, further storage, the third bedroom and the modern shower room/wc.

There is a wealth of character features and these are complemented by well decorated and maintained presentation, UPvc double glazed windows and oil-fired central heating.

One of the key selling points for this property is the outside space and storage. The gardens are all mainly located to the front of the cottage, with a southerly aspect the gardens enjoy sunshine for the bulk of the day - this also means the cottage is situated well away from the country lane creating a very safe environment for children and pets alike

The gardens measure 0.38 of acre, being laid to lawn with a practical kitchen garden area and shed. The entrance drive borders the garden, as you drive down to the cottage it opens up to provide ample parking and turning. The timber outbuilding provides a huge amount of space. The double garage and workshop has its own electricity supply and the camper van/caravan store has a hinged roof for ease of access, for even larger vehicles. There is a rear store, nearly 10m in length, for further storage if required. There is an arbour covered patio, a paved patio to the immediate rear of the cottage, with a practical area of garden featuring a garden shed.
