Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - Access is gained via the porch, which opens directly into the heart of the home at the kitchen. This is a particularly impressive open-plan space, fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units and centred around an island, whilst exposed beams help retain the cottage's period character. The kitchen flows naturally through to the adjoining dining area, creating an excellent sociable space for day-to-day living and entertaining.
From here, a door leads through to the sitting room, a substantial reception room enjoying a dual-aspect layout and notable character features including exposed brickwork, beams and feature fireplaces. This is a generous and inviting room, with a staircase rising to the first floor. Just off the sitting room is a useful cloakroom and door to outside.
Returning towards the centre of the ground floor, there is a utility positioned off the kitchen, providing further practical storage and laundry space. Adjacent to this is the ground floor shower room, fitted with a three-piece suite and offering useful flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.

The master bedroom is a particularly generous principal suite, enjoying an excellent sense of space and character, with the benefit of a separate dressing area leading off. Beyond this is the bathroom, which is fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC.
Bedroom three is positioned nearby and benefits from its own en-suite, whilst bedroom two is another comfortable double room served by the separate shower room located off the landing.
Outside - Outside, the property is approached from Main Street via a gated frontage, leading to the side of the house and giving access to the parking area and garage/office.
