This property is a three bedroom semi-detached cottage built in 1912. Originally a farm workers' cottage, it has been tastefully and sympathetically extended and enhanced in the past 30 years. Great care and attention to detail has been undertaken in the design and layout resulting in impressive versatile living spaces on the ground floor. The entire property is presented in an excellent decorative order and offers ample built-in storage cupboard space. With three reception rooms to choose from the garden room extension is particularly impressive, being a generous size and with tranquil views over the gardens and pond. On the first floor, you'll find beautifully proportioned bedrooms with views of the gardens and stunning far-reaching views of the unspoiled countryside. The principal bedroom has the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom, while the main bathroom has recently been fitted and is in excellent condition.

The cottage is located off a quiet country lane and is accessed via a five-bar gate, boasting a spacious shingle driveway with ample off-road parking and a large workshop/garage (measuring 7.59m x 4.19m). The gardens extend to the regions of 0.5 acres (sts) and provide complete privacy and seclusion. A stunning feature of the property is the large pond, accompanied by a summer house at the rear boundary, offering picturesque views back towards the house. Adjacent to the rear of the cottage are formal gardens and a patio area that enjoys plenty of sunlight due to a westerly aspect.
