'Barn Cottage' is a very special detached property constructed of brick and flint elevations with inset casement windows under a thatched roof. The cottage dates to the 17th century with later additions and was formally the village forge. Many of the rooms are double aspect and are naturally light and airy. An entrance hall opens into a dual aspect sitting room which has a herringbone wooden block floor, open fireplace and ceiling beams with a door opening into a porch which leads to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a traditional in frame hand painted kitchen with marble worktops and a 'Raeburn' which has three ovens and two hotplates over, there is a door into the garden. The kitchen opens into an ample dining room which provides plenty of space for a large dining table. The drawing room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a double aspect with French doors to the garden and a fitted woodburning stove. There is a shower room which could facilitate the use of this room as a comfortable double bedroom. A utility room completes the ground floor. All the first-floor bedrooms have a dual aspect with views to the rear over the garden and countryside beyond and are served by a shower room and a bathroom. Externally the property has a gravelled driveway to the side to the front of the detached garage which has a workshop behind and a garden store on the side. The rear garden is enclosed by hedging that neatly wraps around and much of the garden is laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub beds and a sun terrace directly behind the house. To one corner is a large pond which was a natural swimming pond although now has an abundance of lilies and reeds and a resident moorhen family. There is a covered deck with steps into the water.
