  • Period
  • Detached
  • Cottage
Friary Cottage is a detached, stone house of 19th century origin in a charming riverside setting. A glazed porch leads into a central hall with stairs leading to the first floor. The kitchen has wooden fitted units, tiled floor and electric oven/hob. This leads to the dining room which has stripped wooden floors and a conservatory extension creating a light, bright space. The living room has a large wood burning stove which, being centrally-placed, optimises heat distribution throughout the house. Beyond the living room is a double bedroom/shower room en suite extension which is currently used for guests. Above this room is a large storage cavity accessed by retracting wooden steps.

On the first floor there are polished wooden floorboards and exposed roof beams in both double bedrooms. The main bedroom, which has views across the valley, has a dressing room, bath/shower room en suite and extensive fitted cupboards. The second double bedroom upstairs has an en suite bath/shower, ornamental fireplace and fitted cupboards.

The land with Friary Cottage covers almost 4 acres and is divided into 3 paddocks (two with shelters) one with its own natural spring that supplies the cottage with water. Additionally there is an orchard, with hen house, which is planted with a variety of fruit and nut trees. This tranquil setting was once the site of a monastic settlement - hence the name 'Friary'.

There are gardens on both sides of the cottage and an elevated terrace with stone steps leading down to the river where there is a retractable pontoon. There are riparian rights along the full length of the boundary, including a bank of woodland stretching along the river for several hundred feet which comes with the cottage and is a perfect area for fishing.

Parking is available within the curtilage of the main garden where there is also a small workshop and oil tank store. The drive leading to the cottage, which runs alongside the orchard, is also owned by the cottage and has a further parking area.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
