DESCRIPTION
Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a charming entrance hall, providing access to the first floor and setting the tone for this characterful cottage. A “coffin hatch” provides easy access for furniture to the upstairs rooms. To the left is the delightful dining room, which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the front of the property and is full of character and charm. The dining room provides access to the cellar, offering useful additional storage. From the dining room, you enter the cosy sitting room, another inviting space overlooking the front aspect. The room’s focal point is the attractive wood-burning stove, creating a warm and homely atmosphere — perfect for relaxing on cosy evenings. The dining room also leads through to the bespoke, handmade kitchen, thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with character. There is an excellent range of cupboard storage, built-in fridges, freezer and dishwasher and a particularly useful large pantry cupboard. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the garden, making outdoor entertaining and everyday living wonderfully convenient. Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned shower room, fitted with a shower, wash basin and WC.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four bedrooms, offering flexibility for family living. Bedroom one is a generous double bedroom overlooking the front of the property and benefits from plenty of space for wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three are also well-sized double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant views over the rear aspect.
Bedroom four is a useful single room, currently utilised as a home office, but equally suited to use as a nursery, dressing room or playroom depending on individual requirements. The first-floor family bathroom is fitted with a bath (with shower over), wash basin and WC.
The second floor provides a further versatile room with useful built-in storage. Currently used as a home office and hobby room, this flexible space could lend itself to a variety of uses. A dormer window provides lovely views over the rear aspect and allows plenty of natural light to fill the room. There are new double-glazed windows to the front and second floor and secondary double-glazing to the rear.
Externally, the property continues to impress, with ample off-road parking to the front and access to a single garage, currently utilised as a workshop. The front garden is surprisingly generous and provides a lovely additional space in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings, with mature trees and established shrubs adding to its charm and character.
The rear garden is equally appealing, offering a variety of areas to enjoy and making the most of the available space. There are raised vegetable beds, a patio area, summer house, log store and potting shed, creating a wonderful outdoor space for gardening enthusiasts, entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the garden.

AML
To comply with HMRC's regulations on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), we are legally required to conduct AML checks on every purchaser once a sale is agreed. We use a government-approved electronic identity verification service to ensure compliance, accuracy, and security. This is approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC. The cost of anti-money laundering (AML) checks are £30 including VAT per person, payable in advance after an offer has been accepted. This fee is mandatory to comply with the regulations and must be paid before a memorandum of sale can be issued. Please note that the fee is non-refundable.
