We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive period cottage occupying a simply stunning plot which lies in the region of 0.7 of an acre approaching 145m. in length. The property is situated close to the heart of this picturesque and sought after village.

This stunning home has been a much loved property offering character and the following features:- 3 main reception areas including an open plan L-shaped dining kitchen with garden room off, tastefully appointed with a generous range of integrated units finished in heritage style colours with granite preparation surfaces, double oven oil fired Aga and delightful aspect into the rear garden. The two further receptions offer a good deal of versatility with both main sitting room and snug as well as a useful utility and ground floor cloakroom. To the first floor there are 4 bedrooms with a main family bathroom and separate shower room, both tastefully appointed with contemporary fixtures and fittings.

In addition to the current accommodation planning was approved in December 2021 for a substantial single storey addition to the rear opening out the kitchen into the garden to create a fantastic family orientated living space. Planning permission requires building to have started 3 years from the date of grant; therefore December 2024.

As well as the accommodation on offer, clearly one of the main attractions of this truly individual home is it's beautiful, lovingly established, generous plot with both formal and informal gardens creating an outdoor space that gives the impression of being in a totally rural location. The initial formal garden comprises mixed beds with mature perennial plants, shrubs, rose beds and specimen trees, and provides delightful seating areas linking back into the house and opening out onto a central lawn with studio (with potential for office space, extra bedroom or childs den) and pontoon over the pond with torrent. There is a screened vegetable patch supporting soft fruit and vegetables, and a maturing orchard in a woodland setting with views over fields beyond. To the front of the property is a substantial stone chipping parking area providing more than adequate car standing and leads to a detached garage with two storage/log sheds to the rear.

Overall this is a rare opportunity to purchase a unique home within a desirable location. Viewing therefore comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
