The Property
As you pass through the front porch you step in to the dining room, where a striking inglenook fireplace immediately grabs your attention. A wealth of beams and timbers are on show that flow throughout the entire property, along with original wooden doors between a lot of the rooms. A passage beside the fireplace leads through to the sitting room, where an equally impressive fireplace mirrors the dining room. Off the sitting room is a handy study space, with ample room for a desk and chair. The main bathroom is also accessed from the sitting room, which is fitted with a claw-footed bathtub, WC and wash basin. A traditional country cottage kitchen links the dining room, breakfast room and utility room, also having access to a walk-in pantry. The breakfast room is yet another generous and versatile reception room, as is the family room next to it, both located to the rear of the cottage. Completing the ground-floor is another useful space, currently used as a dressing room. Taking the stairs up to the first-floor a short landing links the two biggest bedrooms, both spacious double rooms, with the third double bedroom being accessed through one of them.

Outside
The cottage is located along a track with views to the front over the green. A picket fence marks the front boundary where a gate leads you up the garden path to the front door. To the left of the generous plot is the entrance to the driveway, which provides plenty of off-road parking. The front garden is laid mostly to grass with flower borders lining the pathways which lead around both sides of the property to the rear garden. The rear garden is a good size and laid mostly to lawn, with a combination of high fencing and hedgerows marking the boundaries. A paved path takes you from the house to an attractive circular patio area with pergola, half framed by a brick seating area. To the back right is a timber shed.
