A four-bedroom house occupying a quaint rural location together with off-road parking and a south-facing garden overlooking farmland
Description
Positioned opposite St Mary’s church, The Cottage is a semi-detached house which likely dates from the early 1900’s, with a later two-storey rear addition. Covering some 1,360 sq.ft, the accommodation is notably spacious throughout, providing a practical and pleasing layout on both floors.
The principal access is via the rear kitchen / breakfast room, which is fitted with oak worktops on three walls, numerous units and appliances including an electric range cooker. A utility area to one corner provides further storage facilities and plumbing for white goods.
The adjacent snug / family room provides a central fireplace housing a wood burner. Overlooking the principal front garden, the main reception areas span the entire width of the house, which comprises an open plan dining room and sitting room, with a central fireplace with wood burner.
Via a central landing, the first floor provides three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, where bedroom one provides a corner ensuite shower room. All remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside, the property provides ample off-road parking to one side, which is accessed via a minor ‘no through road’.
The main garden is chiefly to the front, which consists of an area of lawn bound by established hedges. To the eastern side is a sheltered dining terrace of brick, which returns to the kitchen side access.
Directly opposite the minor country lane, the property enjoys far-reaching rural views over open countryside.
Services Mains water and electricity are connected. 12 Photovoltaics (PV) solar panels fitted to the main southern part of the roof. Oil-fired heating
