Outside
The cottage sits in a quarter of an acre plot and is embraced by gardens both front and rear, offering a canvas for your horticultural aspirations. The rear, terraced garden, with its potential for further development, is an idyllic setting for outdoor relaxation and play and takes advantage of its south facing aspect. The current owners aimed to create a wildlife haven and with several garden ponds, mature shrubs and trees, it is sure to give hours of pleasure. Raised beds for vegetables and a useful garden shed as well as outside power, provide essentials for the keen gardener.
The large, private patio, accessible from the kitchen, is perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings and al fresco entertaining. A detached double garage has been largely converted to a delightful bright and roomy office/study space with picture windows, and sitting adjacent is a useful shower room. Retrospective consents are currently being sought for the conversion.
There is ample off-road parking, which is conveniently available, ensuring ease of access. The thatched roof and traditional architecture harmonise beautifully with the natural setting, making this home a picturesque retreat.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
