3 bedroom detached house

Well Cottage is privately situated in a peaceful, rural location and is believed to date from mid 1700's with a later, two storey oak framed extension.

The versatile accommodation is tastefully presented and includes a wonderfully light sitting room with woodburning stove and views over the garden and a fantastic kitchen/breakfast room with electric Aga, tiled floor and door into the garden.

The hall has a woodburning stove and leads into a study/playroom with open fire.

The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and shower room and enjoys wonderful west-facing views over the delightful rear garden. There are two further bedrooms which share a bathroom.

The outbuilding has water and electricity and, subject to planning, it may be possible to convert it into additional accommodation.

The attractive garden is incredibly private and is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs. There are a number of raised beds, a garden store and greenhouse on the north-east side of the cottage.

A useful outbuilding, currently used for storage purposes, has potential to be converted into a home office or studio, subject to planning. Doors from the sitting room and kitchen lead onto a secluded terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining.

There is parking for a number of cars to the front of the cottage on The Common with a path leading to the front door.

The Common is ideal for walking and riding.
