A Grade II listed five bedroom detached cottage with a solar hot water system, an EV charge point, a double garage and approximately 2.36 acres of private formal gardens. The cottage dates from the 17th century and retains period features including exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, and ledge and brace doors which have been blended with modern amenities. The 2,734 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room, a dining room with stairs to two first floor bedrooms, and a recently added oak framed garden room which is connected to a study with doors to the two main bedrooms, which both have an en suite. The dual aspect principal bedroom has glazed double doors to the rear garden. There is also a ground floor bathroom. Leading off the kitchen/breakfast room is a sitting room, and a snug which has access to a ground floor shower room and stairs to a further bedroom. These rooms could be used as an independent annexe if required.
The property is entered via a sweeping gravel driveway with access to a detached double width garage with an up and over door, power and eaves storage. There is an electric car charging point.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Dining Room The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a bespoke range of colour washed oak units with complementary work surfaces and flooring.

The dining room has wood effect flooring, exposed timbers, an inglenook feature fireplace and a built-in cupboard.
Garden Room The most recent addition to the property is the garden room which was built to a custom design using old stock bricks and oak framed windows including a pyramid with views of the rear garden. Glazed double doors open to an outside seating area, and there is log burning stove set on a raised hearth in one corner. There is solid oak flooring throughout, a utility cupboard and a door to the family bathroom.
Formal Gardens The gardens which surround the property are enclosed on all sides providing privacy. They are principally lawned with established borders and several established broad leaf, coniferous and fruit trees. There is an entertaining area with a pergola and brick built barbeque. There is also a custom built greenhouse, a summerhouse and a garden shed. A small brook runs through the plot and there is also a stable block which is currently used for storage and requires refurbishment.
