2 bedroom house for sale

Flint Cottage is an exquisite, tucked away gem providing a beautifully put together home, both inside and out. Grade II listed, the flint-faced front elevation is framed by a pretty cottage garden.

The front door, beneath a porch, opens to a hallway off which is a well fitted shower room and an elegant sitting room. Looking out to the courtyard and with French doors opening to it, this bright room was conceived with forethought to enable its use as a downstairs bedroom in conjunction with the shower room, if desired.

The dining/sitting room has a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Being double aspect, with gorgeous views of the garden to the front and courtyard behind, there is ample space for a dining table and places to sit. A charming, neatly fitted kitchen lies beyond, opening to a bright garden room allowing plenty of light.

A staircase, lit from above by a skylight, rises to the first floor where there are two charming bedrooms either side of a bathroom.

To the front of Flint Cottage, a five-bar gate opens to a gravelled drive, which provides plenty of parking. There is also a timber-framed car port.

The gardens are expertly planted being created over the years to provide the perfect backdrop to this delightful home. A lawn to the front is bordered by established herbaceous borders with mature shrubs, trees and hedging. A path leads to a sitting area and wisteria adorns the front of the cottage.

Behind the cottage is a walled courtyard garden where climbing roses, clipped box and ferns are amongst the planting. Accessed from both the kitchen and sitting room, it provides an outside ‘room’ to enjoy and entertain in. Flint Cottage enjoys a quintessentially English setting neighboured by other beautiful houses in the vicinity.
