A charming three bedroom character cottage, built in 1906, offering deceptively spacious and thoughtfully updated accommodation, blending period features with modern living.
The property retains a wonderful sense of history, having originally served as a kiln worker’s cottage, with locally made bricks from Kiln Lane and framed original deeds still preserved within the home. In recent years, the property has been significantly enhanced, including the installation of a replacement roof and new windows, together with a heating upgrade featuring a Worcester Bosch combination boiler system and most notably a rear extensions creating a light and bright open plan kitchen diner family space.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into a spacious dual aspect sitting room, featuring what is believed to be original wooden flooring, an open fireplace with brick surround and wooden mantel, and stairs rising to the first floor with useful understairs storage.
To the rear is an impressive dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room forming part of the extension, fitted with a range of eye and base level units, 30mm quartz worktops, a Belfast sink, engineered oak herringbone style flooring, with underfloor heating and modern integrated appliances including NEFF Hide & Slide ovens, an induction hob, and smart dishwasher. Bi fold doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent space for modern family living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to a fully boarded loft and an airing cupboard. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from bespoke handmade wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with a roll top bath with shower overhead, along with a characterful Edwardian cast-iron fireplace.
Additional benefits include a 7kW electric vehicle charging point, a home alarm system, and recent repointing of the west wall using traditional lime mortar.
Outside, to the front of the property, there is driveway parking, while to the rear lies a beautifully landscaped garden that has been extensively renovated and meticulously maintained. Partly laid to lawn with mature planted borders, the garden features a paved patio to the rear of the house, a separate circular entertaining space, ideal for al fresco dining, a vegetable garden and a greenhouse.
At the far end of the garden is a substantial insulated garden room/workshop, connected to the house via a dedicated duct system providing both power and fibre broadband, making it perfectly suited for use as a home office. A mature apple tree, believed to date back to the early years of the property, remains a charming focal point within the garden.

What a delightful home, I love that it's perfectly positioned in the heart of the village. From the cosy sitting room with its welcoming log burner to the sociable kitchen/dining room with bi-folding doors opening out to the garden, it offers an ideal blend of comfort and entertaining space throughout the year.
