A period grade II listed cottage lying in the middle of this popular village
which is surrounded by attractive rolling countryside
The cottage forms part of a terrace of cottages believed to date from 1680 and
constructed of coursed limestone under a thatched roof. The entire terrace was
listed Grade II in July 1964 and form a very attractive part of this historic
High Street.
In the hands of the current owners the cottage has been modernised and
renovated to a high standard yet has not lost any of its timeless charm with
exposed timbers and many nooks and crannies all used for storage purposes.
The panelled front door opens directly into the cosy sitting room with
fireplace housing Stovax wood burner which when in operation has the ability
to heat the whole cottage and create a wonderful atmosphere. A walk in
cupboard lies under the stairs and offers good storage.
Opposite the sitting room is the dining room which could easily double up as a
home office and directly overlooks the attractive High Street.
Lying to the rear is the slate floored kitchen with bespoke fitted shaker
units with wooden work surface and white enamel sink with drainer. Cooking
facilities are provided by a Beko oven with halogen hob above. A separate area
houses a wooden dresser with wall mounted shelving above.
The part tiled bathroom lies off the kitchen with slipper bath, pedestal hand
basin and low level W. C. Adjoining is the airing cupboard housing the hot
water cylinder and providing additional warm storage space
**First floor**
A staircase rises to the main double bedroom which is a good size and links
through to a slightly smaller double bedroom which is currently being used as
a dressing room.

The small south west facing landscaped garden lies to the rear of the cottage
and enjoys the sun from midday onwards when it is out. There is a graveled
seating area edged by small raised herbaceous border and the boundaries are
defined in the main by wooden fencing. A paved path leads to the two useful
brick under pantiled roof storage sheds.
The neighbours on either side have a right to walk through the garden as does
number 26 over theirs.
