Description
The cottage beautifully retains much of its original character and charm, whilst in recent years benefiting from significant investment, including the installation of a new thatched roof.
Upon entering, a generous L-shaped living space creates an inviting and versatile environment, enjoying a dual aspect with three windows to the front that provide attractive views towards the church. Rich in character, this space features exposed ceiling beams, a striking fireplace to the sitting area, and a defined dining area complete with built-in storage cupboards and stripped, varnished floorboards.
To the rear of the property, the re-fitted kitchen is fitted with a range of matching units complemented by solid wood work surfaces, and incorporates a dishwasher, fridge, and a freestanding oven with hob. Character features continue here with exposed beams and a tiled floor. The adjoining utility room provides additional storage, space for appliances including a washing machine and freezer, and offers direct access to the rear garden. A useful cloakroom/WC also houses the gas-fired central heating boiler.
On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which enjoy delightful views towards the church and extending to Buckley Hill beyond. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom comprising a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin. A separate family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms, both fitted with modern white suites and finished with attractive tiling.
Outside
To the rear of the cottage, the garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and seclusion, creating a wonderful outdoor retreat. The principal area is laid to lawn and bordered by well-stocked shrub beds, providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. A timber-decked seating area has been thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the sunny south and westerly aspect, making it an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Immediately adjoining the rear of the cottage is a paved patio terrace with an adjoining bin store, while a particularly useful hobbies room/home office overlooks the garden and features sliding patio doors together with an additional window, offering a versatile space well suited to a variety of uses.
