An immaculately presented three bedroom detached period cottage. This character cottage dates back to at least 1820 and is located in the heart of the village. The property benefits from many original features, good-sized living accommodation, an unusual basement with original wash boiler dating back to circa 1750, gas-fired central heating, double-glazing throughout, off-road parking, a large versatile detached garage and a secluded cottage garden.

The property has been extensively refurbished, and boasts; a complete new roof, an extension providing an additional third bedroom and a bathroom, complete perimeter fencing to the outside of the property, and a new driveway. The garage is certainly large enough to convert to a two storey annexe or a generous workshop subject to obtaining the usual planning consent. All work that has been undertaken by the present owner has been sympathetically kept in harmony with this fascinating property.

We have been advised that the basement is believed to date from before the main building, to circa 1750 retaining the original washroom facilities (a rarity as most are lost in restoration projects).
