A picture book cottage set in the most delightful location, situated on the edge of this very popular little village.

It is detached and sits in generous gardens to the side and rear with a detached garage.
Surrounded by beautiful open countryside, the property is of considerable age and dates back to the early 1800’s although there are more recent extensions with kitchen open into dining area, utility & WC, separate dining room with a fabulous cast iron range being the centre piece of the room, lounge and conservatory on the ground floor.
A feature stone wall leads upstairs to the first floor where there are three large bedrooms and a spacious bathroom.

Light and airy throughout - unusual for such an old cottage, the property is immaculately presented with modern kitchen and bathrooms that blend well with traditional beamed ceilings, tiled floors and solid oak door frames and doors.
The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances and a wood burning stove for cosy winter evenings. The utility room which leads into a WC & shower wet room with electric under floor heating is to the side of the entrance door.
The lounge with its spine beamed ceiling & large stone fireplace and hearth, opens into a huge conservatory / orangery which again opens onto the mature lawned gardens and patio which face the West and South - perfect.
All the bedrooms are good sized doubles with access to the boarded loft from one of the front bedrooms. The family bathroom comprises a lovely white suite with freestanding bath, vanity sink unit, WC and double shower cubicle.
Outside, again is immaculately kept & managed. A stone set driveway with parking for 3 cars leads to a detached garage at the side. Flagged flooring takes you round to the patio at the rear with a manicured lawn with mature hedgerow boundary at the back. To the side and rear is another lawned area and then the cottage vegetable garden complete with greenhouse, fruit shrubs and raised vegetable beds - all planted up and ready to grow!
This property is a caricature of itself - an idyllic chocolate box country cottage set in some of Englands finest countryside yet with all modern conveniences and in an immaculate condition throughout.
