"With origins dating from the 17th century, this grade II listed cottage has been a very convenient and happy home for the current owner for the past 35 years. Downstairs consists of a well proportioned kitchen with tiled, terracotta floor, fireplace, gas cooker and electric oven. There is then a generous living room with a number of windows and a historic fireplace which contains a log burning stove. Between the kitchen and this living room is a semi partitioned area with a window that currently operates well as a study. Around 20 years ago, an orangery side extension measuring circa 170 sq ft was erected which provides access via double doors to a paved terrace area and rear garden. Finally, there is a downstairs bathroom containing a shower cubicle. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, of which two are generous doubles, with the principal served by a smart en suite bathroom with a roll top bath.

The rear garden is laid mostly to lawn with mature boarders, side gate access and a paved terrace for outdoor seating. Parking is available on the street and we re advised that it s often possible to park very close by.
