With no onward chain, it presents a fantastic opportunity as a first-time buy, a tranquil retreat, or a lock-up-and-leave getaway.

Inside, the property is full of charm, featuring exposed ceiling beams, a partially exposed stone wall, and deep-silled cottage-style double-glazed windows.
The open-plan living space is warmed by a cosy wood burner, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Upstairs, the galleried double bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, adding to the home’s charm and practicality.
Outside, the easy-to-maintain paved garden provides a private space to relax and is ideal for alfresco dining. While the cottage is already full of character, there is scope to enhance and personalise to suit your taste.
Enjoying a rural feel yet within easy reach of the village’s amenities, this cottage is a rare find – a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience.
