Charming period cottage in a beautiful semi-rural setting, enjoying wonderful views over countryside, just 0.4 miles from the village centre with its primary school, store and post office.
1 Grange Cottages is a delightful, well-presented end of terrace cottage, believed to date from the late 1880s with a later extension added by the current owners in 2015, to create a spacious kitchen/breakfast room.
Internally, points of note include period leaded light paned windows to the front facade, thumb latch doors, fireplaces and exposed brick and stone walls. Externally there is a substantial driveway, garaging and pretty front and rear gardens. Of particular note is that the property is also offered with no onward chain.
Two reception rooms comprise the reception/dining hall and a sitting room. The reception hall provides versatility for a number of uses, such as a formal dining room, playroom or study and features a fireplace with charming built in cupboards to either side. The adjoining sitting room is triple aspect and features a fireplace inset with a wood-burning stove and double doors leading to the south-facing garden.
The south-facing kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a garden outlook and features a partly vaulted ceiling with skylights and terracotta tiled flooring. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with base and wall cupboards with some integral appliances and a two-oven AGA Rayburn. There is a useful pantry store cupboard providing further storage. A stable door leads out to the garden.
Stairs rise to the first floor and two double bedrooms with built-in storage, one with a fireplace and the other with en-suite facilities. Both bedrooms enjoy views to the front, and a bathroom with roll top bath completes this floor. Two further bedrooms are arranged over the second floor with a substantial walk-in storage loft off the landing.
1 Grange Cottages is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles and which leads to an oak framed double garage. The front gardens are lawned with established shrubs creating year round interest and a central path leads to the property.
To the rear the pretty gardens comprise a terrace adjoining the property, from which an expanse of lawn stretches away to the southern boundary and a further decked terrace, all providing lovely spots for al fresco dining. The rear terrace enjoys views over the surrounding countryside beyond. The garden incorporates an abundance of mature planting to the borders and there is also a useful garden shed. In total the plot amounts to about 0.17 acres.

The cottage is a delight from top to bottom - blending period charm with practicality at every turn. The kitchen extension is one of the most sympathetic I have seen and the outlook over fields to the front is just joyful!
