Description
A Grade II listed 16th century three bedroom detached cottage with an external games room and mature gardens, on a plot of just under 1 acre in a rural location. The property has been extended over the years and has been modernised - with works completed in 2021. The most recent wing of the house includes a sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, and two bedrooms - one of which is on the ground floor and has an en suite shower room. The original part of the house has a dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, principal bedroom and a four piece bathroom. In the grounds there are mature lawned gardens, a pond, an annexe and the external games room which has been converted from a detached double garage. There is potential to create additional accommodation above the games room subject to planning consent.
More than half of the property has a thatched roof, the rear of which was rethatched in 2016, and the front in 2018.
Please note, some external images from 2019 have been used to illustrate seasonal changes in the garden.
