The welcoming, deceptively spacious sitting room with its oak floor, exposed brick fireplace and wood burner exudes warmth, and is a delightful place to spend cosy evenings.

The country style kitchen with slate floor, butler sink, Range cooker and cream coloured bespoke units with woodblock worktops, fits perfectly with the character of the cottage. A window to the rear gives lovely views over the pretty garden to the rear. Integrated dishwasher. Underneath the staircase to the first floor, is space for a washing machine and free standing fridge/freezer. Door to breakfast room.
Breakfast Room 3.05m x 1.55m (10ft x 5ft 1in)
This cosy space is perfect as a breakfast area or dining room. Stable door onto patio and garden.

Stairs from the kitchen lead up to a small landing which gives access to the main bedroom and family bathroom. A further set of stairs leads up to the second bedroom in the attic.
Bedroom 1 4.11m x 3.10m (13ft 5in x 10ft 2in)
This charming double bedroom is a very calming place to relax at the end of a long day. Exposed brick fireplace with built-in cupboards to both sides, one of which houses the hot water cylinder.
Bathroom 2.57m x 2.49m (8ft 5in x 8ft 2in)
A most generous, traditional style bathroom comprising: free standing claw foot bath; pedestal wash basin; low level WC. Room for free standing storage and furniture. Oak floor.
Bedroom 2 (Second Floor) 3.78m x 3.51m (12ft 4in x 11ft 6in)
A surprisingly spacious bedroom, currently set up with twin beds. Built-in wardrobe. A window to the side gives lovely views over the lane in which the cottage sits. NB: Some restricted head height to this floor.
Outside
A white picket fence with hinged gate takes you through to the front of the property where there is a pretty garden area. To the side of the house, a path leads you through to a beautiful, mature, south west facing cottage garden which is enclosed by natural hedging and is completely in keeping with the character of the house. A patio at the back of the cottage makes a lovely place to sit, eat and relax. To the end of the garden is a purpose built timber outbuilding with storage area, power and light, currently used as a hobby room. This would, however, make the perfect home office for anyone needing to work from home. To the front of the outbuildings is a further gravelled patio area and to the side, raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables.
