    About this property

    • A charming period cottage which unusually is not listed. The cottage has rendered elevations above a brick plinth under a slate roof. The cottage was modernised in 2020/ 2021, with double glazed UPVC windows fitted to most units. Following some damp and condensation issues, the property has been dried out, a PIV (Positive Input Ventilation) system has been installed in the loft, and wallpaper and decorations have been removed.

      The front door opens into a small porch and then into the sitting room with fireplace and log burner. The kitchen/ breakfast room is fitted with a range of modern floor and wall cupboards. From the sitting room a door opens into an inner hall/ study area with door to the utility room and then into the bathroom with modern white suite. Stairs lead up to the landing and three bedrooms.

      Outside
      The cottage is approached through a five bar gate, with a rough shingle driveway providing parking. The generous gardens to both front and rear are mainly lawned with established hedging providing seclusion. Within the gardens is a brick garden store in need of attention, and there is a well. To the west side of the house is an area of mature woodland, and the whole plot extends to about 1.18 acres.

      Agent's Note
