More details
This charming property provides well presented and spacious living accommodation with the benefit of a detached annexe/studio. The ground floor of the cottage provides two principle reception rooms with the rear family room providing a lovely outlook down the garden. On entry from the front door there is a particularly spacious reception hall, which follows through to a smart kitchen and dining area beyond. There is also a cloakroom, and to the side a vestibule/boot room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom. To the front of the property there is ample off street parking, and to the side there is a substantial and detached tandem garage with an office beyond.
A particular feature is the rear garden which has a lovely semi-rural outlook. With many areas laid to lawn there are flowering shrubs and plants within the borders and a patio area immediately to the rear of the house. Situated further down the garden there is a detached studio (299 sq ft) with electric and an open plan kitchenette. In our opinion this superb addition is ideal for use as a home office, studio or games room.
