Property description
This charming three bedroom detached cottage can only be described as delightful with its pleasant ambiance, wealth of character and beautiful gardens. The cottage is entered via a rear hallway which has a cloakroom and leads to a utility area which is open plan into the breakfast kitchen. This is fitted with oak units and has French doors into the south facing garden (this room really brings the indoor and outside living spaces together). The lounge/dining room has a stunning Inglenook fireplace and solid oak flooring. There is also a sitting room/study (which also has French doors to fully appreciate the sunny aspect of the rear garden). On the first floor are three light and airy bedrooms and a recently re-fitted bathroom (fitted with a four piece suite) and feature wall with exposed daub and wattle. The rear garden feels very secluded and is deceptively spacious with a variety of mature and well-stocked planting, pond with water feature and separate vegetable growing area. Situated in a no-through lane with parking in a quiet village location.
