An attractive period cottage, within walking distance of train station, shops, schools and footpaths, with immense charm. Within the grounds, a brick built store room that has its origins as an original Piggery and to one corner of the garden is detached workshop with character elevations beneath a pitched roof. The property has been well maintained with most of the roof being replaced with handmade tiles, and the colour washed stone and timber elevations with tile hung gable, enhance the appearance of this beautiful cottage. The main door to the cottage is found to the side which leads to a generous hall with a cloakroom at the far end. The living room is a tremendous feature having a double aspect with leaded light windows, Inglenook fireplace and a wealth of exposed beams. The kitchen has direct access to a walled patio and garden beyond. A turning staircase leads to the first floor landing which gives access to three good sized bedrooms, all featuring some exposed timbers and leaded light windows. The bathroom has a dated suite. To the front of the property is a car port with plenty of options to enhance the parking, subject to any usual planning consents.
