A charming, late 18C, Grade II Listed cottage, set in a quiet
location, in the shadow of the parish church. The property enjoys a
wealth of character features and has recently been re thatched. The
owner has also had a new kitchen and bathroom installed.
Bay Tree Cottage enjoys an
idyllic position with lovely views towards the church and is just
around the corner from the post office stores and the village hall.
The property has many lovely features and does not suffer from the
very low ceilings often associated with this type of
property.
Approached over a quiet lane,
the front door opens to the sitting room, which is a characterful
room featuring exposed timbers. There is a traditional side slider
window overlooking the front and a beautiful fireplace dominates
the room and features a pretty multi fuel stove. Two deep cupboards
on either side of the fireplace provide good storage.
The adjacent kitchen has
recently been re fitted with floor and wall mounted cabinets, there
is space for a cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge, and
from here you can see the back of the old bread oven, a lovely
feature. The staircase leads up from the corner of the kitchen to
the first floor and there is a door to the lobby, where a stable
door opens to the garden. On the ground floor, there is also a
beautiful, high quality, recently refitted bathroom with a w.c.,
hand basin, and shower enclosure.
On the first floor, the landing
is characterful with exposed timbers and there are two good double
bedrooms. The largest bedroom has storage on either side of the
chimney breast and the second size room has a deep, built in
cupboard and plenty of room for a kingsize double bed and
additional furniture. On the landing there is also a large cupboard
over the staircase.
Outside, is a pretty terraced
garden with a patio adjacent to the house, a decking area in one
corner, a large bespoke shed in the other, and a further sentry
shed for additional storage. The garden is partially walled and
enjoys glimpses of the church in the distance.
A right of way in favour of the
neighbouring cottage, exists over the rear of this
property.
