Period Grade ll listed cottage, 3 receptions, kitchen/breakfast room, good-sized gardens, double garage, ample parking and barn offering further potential.
This charming Grade II listed, detached four-bedroom period cottage has been a much-loved family home for over 25 years.
The spacious accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, cloakroom/utility room, and a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of units and worktop surfaces with wooden edging. A red oil-fired Aga, set within an inglenook-style surround with a heavy beam over, provides a striking focal point and also heats the hot water. There is also a fitted dresser-style unit with display cabinets above.
The living room is a delightful dual-aspect space featuring a window seat and an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The dining room also benefits from a wood burner and a wooden beam mantelpiece, with a door leading through to a study/family room. There is a shower room, and a potential second kitchen. This section of the property offers excellent scope to create a self-contained annexe, subject to requirements, and benefits from its own external access.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property further benefits from oil-fired central heating.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this wonderful home and the additional potential offered by the barn, subject to the necessary planning consents.
