A charming 18th-century cottage offering exciting scope for modernisation, set within lovely private gardens.
This charming, attached cottage, constructed of attractive red brick and Bargate stone, is believed to date from the 18th century and has remained in the ownership of the same family for over 45 years. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful village home with private gardens and ample parking.
A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming dual-aspect sitting room, centred around an impressive original inglenook fireplace and featuring stairs rising to the first floor.
Further reception space is provided by a comfortable family room with a fireplace, while the kitchen is superbly appointed with a range of Miele integrated appliances and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
The dual-aspect dining room provides an excellent space for both everyday dining and entertaining, featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling and a door opening directly onto the garden.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a cast iron fireplace and fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom features two useful built-in storage cupboards. A staircase leads to the family bathroom.
Outside, a terrace to the rear provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. The front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enjoy a high degree of privacy, enclosed by established hedging and mature trees. A summer house is positioned within the rear garden, offering a versatile retreat or hobby space.
To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
The property has been re roofed within the last 5 years.

This is a very pretty cottage full of character features. I particularly like the fireplace in the sitting room and the vault in the dining room.
