There are original brick fireplaces, quarry tiled floors, latch and brace doors and exposed ceiling beams and timbers.
At the front there is gated off street parking for at least four cars. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and provides a good level of privacy.
Period Features Dating back to the 17th Century, the cottage retains period features which include an open fireplace in the sitting room, and a brick herringbone fireplace surrounding a wood burner in the dining room, both with tiled hearths. There is quarry tiled flooring and latch and brace doors. The exposed wall and ceiling beams downstairs are continued in the bedrooms with authentic timber braces and tie beams.
Rear Garden Mainly laid to lawn and measuring 83 ft. by 59 ft., the enclosed rear garden provides good levels of privacy. South facing, it has established shrub borders, a variety of specimen trees and a feature stone well set into the lawn. Adjacent to the house there is a gravel area for seating and a path leads to the front.
