To the left of the entrance is a study, which benefits from French doors opening into a delightful garden room overlooking the rear garden. At the heart of the home is a generous reception room, currently used as an office but equally suited as an impressive formal dining room. The ground floor also features a bedroom with en-suite facilities, a cosy lounge with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, together with an adjoining conservatory enjoying views of the garden. Further accommodation includes a snug TV room leading through to a breakfast room with French doors opening onto the garden, which in turn provides direct access to the kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room and walk-in larder. The first floor landing enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and provides access to three well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Occupying a plot of approximately three quarters of an acre, the property enjoys extensive outdoor space. To the front is a generous driveway providing ample off road parking, together with a brick built garage featuring double timber doors and a carport to the side. The rear garden offers a wonderful outdoor setting with a paved patio and veranda, extensive lawns, mature trees including a variety of fruit trees, a pond, and a vegetable allotment area. Tucked away behind the garage is a greenhouse, adding further appeal for keen gardeners. The cottage is full of charm and character, combining period features with practical modern benefits. It is predominantly double glazed and benefits from air source heating, solar panels, and a back boiler connected to the wood burning stove. Offering enormous scope for further enhancement and personalisation, this distinctive and rarely available property presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a home unlike any other in a delightful village setting.
