Charming character cottage in this popular and well located village.
A beautifully presented period cottage having most appealing elevations of red brick and knapped flint under a tiled roof. The cottage was completely remodelled and extended in 2005, and further updated and refreshed in 2016 to a high standard, cleverly retaining the charm and character yet with a fresh modern style. Particular features include a handmade kitchen, stylish modern bathroom and shower room fittings, engineered oak flooring to many rooms, period style radiators, a useful home office to the rear of the garage, and a brick built pizza oven in the garden.
The front door opens into an entrance hall area and to the sitting room with a brick fireplace with wood beam over and log burner. The generous open plan kitchen/ dining room has double aspect windows including French doors to the garden at the rear and is fitted with a range of painted wood units with hardwood worktops, and includes a Belfast sink, central island unit with breakfast bar, matching glazed fronted dresser and china cupboard, Miele dishwasher, and a propane and electric range cooker with extractor hood over. There are two walk in larders, one with walk in temperature controlled wine store. There is a separate utility/ boot room with a Belfast sink, plumbing and space for washer and dryer, range of tall store cupboards one housing the hot water cylinder, and doors to the garden and to the cloakroom with WC and basin off.

There are three further bedrooms two with custom built in furniture and an impressive family bathroom with freestanding bath, wet room shower, basin set on a washstand and WC. The house has the benefit of oil fired central heating, and double glazed windows.
Outside
A white picket fence fronts on to the lane, with a pathway leading to the front door. A shingle driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to the detached Garage, built in keeping with the cottage and having power and light, and a useful Office to the rear, suitable for any number of uses. The pretty cottage gardens are a delightful feature, and are mostly walled, providing seclusion. They have been planted with a wide variety of herbaceous cottage plants in beds and borders, and include fruit trees including apple, pear, medlar and quince. A flagstone terrace provides the perfect spot for summer entertaining and includes a brick built pizza or bread oven. There is a brick and timber Greenhouse and a productive kitchen garden with raised beds.

I really like the clever way the owners have blended the character of a period cottage with clean modern styling
