Description

A charming two bedroom period cottage and one bedroom detached annexe situated in an idyllic setting.

The unlisted timber-frame cottage provides rendered elevations under a clay tiled roof and enjoys two reception rooms providing a wealth of period features including exposed studwork and structural timbers. The kitchen is positioned between the sitting room and conservatory and provides a range of wooden units and work surfaces. The conservatory extends on to the west-facing garden and is a comfortable room with tiled floor. Accessed from a spiral staircase is the first floor accommodation which comprises two bedrooms with the principal bedroom enjoying two sections divided by studwork offering a useful dressing area and access to an en suite. The cottage does require some degree of improvement.
