Beautiful Georgian village house.
Knoll Cottage is a substantial and impressive Georgian house believed to date from 1826. The property is constructed from red brick under pitched tiled roofs. Internally the house has great character with well-proportioned rooms, sash windows and fireplaces. The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious dining room with wood burning stove which leads through to the study. The sitting room has original parquet flooring, a wood burning stove and a window seat. Opposite the sitting room lies the playroom which gives access to the cellar. The Orwells kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear of the house. It is fitted with wooden units and a six ring gas range, wooden worktops and a slate floor. The house was extended in 2006 and provides further living accommodation including a conservatory which benefits from under floor heating and triple glazing, a first floor family room, shower room and a ground floor boot room fitted with base and wall mounted units.

I found the property charming and sympathetically extended, offering modern spaces within a period house, surrounded by delightfully mature gardens.
