The Horseshoes is an attractive 16th Century listed (Grade II) detached property and is accessed via an in and out driveway providing parking in front and alongside the property. The cottage has retained many of its period features including exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace, wooden flooring and leaded casement windows.
On the ground floor the entrance hallway leads to a tri aspect kitchen with integrated units and access out onto the terrace, a utility room and downstairs WC. A door leads into the main sitting room with an inglenook fireplace which, in turn, leads through to the dining room with stairs to the first floor. A study/snug then sits between the dining room and the garden.
On the first floor the principal suite sits across the western side of the property and benefits from an en suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom whilst the bedroom, with study area, sits on the top floor with its own shower room.
Outside a garage has been converted into a one bedroom self-contained unit with a bedroom, shower room and kitchenette. In the rear garden there is also a listed barn and summerhouse, currently in use as an office.
At the rear of the house, and set in its own grounds, is a newly built oak framed four bedroom single story annex made up of four excellent double bedrooms, all with underfloor heating. Two bathrooms, one acting as a Jack and Jill arrangement and the other as a separate family bathroom sit between the bedrooms, one of either wing of the property. At the centre of the house a large, light and bright open plan kitchen/living room includes a fitted kitchen with island. Bifold doors open out onto a terrace with countryside views.
