From the moment you approach this delightful cottage, its charm and kerb appeal are immediately apparent. The attractive period frontage is complemented by a pretty front garden, approached through a traditional picket fence and gravel pathway. The garden is beautifully planted with an abundance of mature and colourful plants, together with a charming pond and a green garden bench which perfectly complements the cottage's green front door.
Entering through the attractive stable door, the period character continues throughout. The welcoming hallway is light and airy, with sufficient space for an armchair an ideal spot to sit and enjoy a quiet moment with a good book. A discreet wooden door leads to the contemporary downstairs cloakroom, which has been thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably alongside the period character of the property and comprises a WC, wash hand basin with cupboard beneath and heated towel rail.
SITTING ROOM AND DINING ROOM
To the left of the hallway is the wonderfully inviting sitting room. A square bay window provides an abundance of natural light, whilst a feature brick fireplace with log burner forms an attractive focal point. Exposed beams add further warmth and character, creating a cosy yet elegant reception space. From the sitting room, a door leads through to the immaculate dining room. This charming room features glazed doors, exposed beams and attractive wooden flooring, providing a lovely space for entertaining and family meals. Glazed doors then lead through to the delightful conservatory, which makes the most of the views and outlook across the picturesque rear garden.
THE KITCHEN
The dining room also provides access to the beautifully appointed country-style kitchen. Designed with both practicality and aesthetics in mind, the kitchen features an attractive butler sink, granite work surfaces and an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted units, including charming glazed-fronted cupboards.

The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from two double integrated wardrobes, whilst the second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and includes a useful integrated cupboard. The third bedroom is currently also home to the boiler and heating controls and could provide an ideal bedroom, study or occasional guest room depending on individual requirements. The family bathroom is immaculately presented and comprises a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin with cupboard beneath and WC and an airing cupboard provides useful additional storage.
A TRULY SPECIAL GARDEN
Perhaps the crowning glory of this enchanting property is the gorgeous south-westerly facing rear garden, which has been lovingly tended and maintained by the current owners throughout their more than three decades at the cottage. The garden is a wonderful combination of mature planting, secluded seating areas and attractive landscaping, creating a tranquil and beautifully established outdoor space. There is an abundance of mature shrubs and plants, together with a pretty pond and a delightful patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Paved steps gently wind their way through the established planting towards the rear of the garden, where there is a further decked seating area, a charming summer house and a useful garden shed. Several water butts are also discreetly positioned around the garden. A particularly attractive gazebo provides a wonderful spot from which to enjoy the garden whilst taking shelter from the strongest of the sunshine. There is also a Rhino greenhouse. With its south-westerly orientation, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout much of the afternoon and, wonderfully, provides the opportunity to watch the sun set over the garden.
PARKING
A recently constructed, fully contained two-car carport provides excellent private parking and is a particularly valuable addition to this charming village home.
