Description
Hazelwood Cottage is a spacious, principal village house with accommodation extending to over 2,700 sq ft (257 sqm).  Believed to originally date from the 1800s,  the property comprises a traditional, formal entrance hall from which the charming drawing room and more comfortable sitting room can be accessed.  In addition there is the original dining room, off which the garden room has been added, creating an excellent reception area, as well as the kitchen, utility room and extremely practical boot room with cloakroom. 

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, four further double bedrooms and the family bathroom. 

Outside established gardens and grounds immediately surround Hazelwood Cottage together with a range of useful outbuildings.  There is also a generous shingled driveway, which links well with the double cartlodge and stable block.  To the west of the driveway are the former paddocks, which extends to nearly 2 acres in all and have recently been taken back in hand.

Whilst Hazelwood Cottage is perfectly serviceable, it does now warrant a programme of renovation and refurbishment throughout, as well as possibly reconfiguring the ground floor accommodation as required - and subject to the necessary consents.   However this provides a wonderful opportunity for an incoming purchaser to place their own particular style and design upon Hazelwood Cottage.
