houses. The current owner has transformed the property with a programme of
sympathetic refurbishment, most notably refitting the kitchen, two bathrooms,
rewiring, replumbing and greatly improving the insulation throughout, yet
taking great care to preserve all the character and charm associated with the
original integrity of the building.

breakfast room refitted with attractive solid oak cabinetry, quartz work
surfaces with splashbacks and breakfast bar, electric cooker with extractor
hood over. Just off the utility area where there is space for the usual white
goods, is a walk - in cupboard that houses the oil - fired central heating boiler.
There are two generous reception rooms, both with exposed timber beams and
inglenook fireplaces. Off the rear lobby, is an office / bedroom 3 with a Jack
and Jill bathroom, ideal for those with mobility issues.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms both with adjacent shower rooms and
accessed via separate staircases at opposite ends of the cottage.
Outside, there is vehicular access via a no - through road / track, which leads
to double gates with off - road parking for several vehicles beyond plus a
double garage with an electric up - and - over door, power and light connected.

mainly to lawn with well - stocked flower and shrub borders and beds with a
