An opportunity to purchase a charming characterful end of terrace cottage with accommodation arranged over three floors and offering around 1400 sq ft/ 130 sq m of living space. The property has four good sized bedrooms, three are double sized and boasts some wonderful views over countryside in the distance. The cottage lies within easy reach of local facilities, including a Coop, hairdressers and public house, which serves food, with the train station and town centre a little further on. We believe that the property dates to the 1850s, forming part of an old coaching inn and was converted to residential dwellings around the early 1900s. The cottage retains character features, which include cottage style windows - some with deep sills, exposed timbers, fireplaces and a cellar. Over the last few years, this loved and cared for home has benefitted from new carpets, a decoration throughout and some landscaping to the outdoor space. This delightful home will certainly go a long way to satisfy many potential buyers requirements - a fabulous first time buy, first family home and would also lend itself to those wanting an easy to maintain outside space with a view to explore the nearby countryside. A viewing is essential to truly appreciate what this home has to offer internally as well as the location.
