Believed to date back to the late 1800s, this charming terraced cottage has a real charm to it. Set in an elevated position above the lane and well screened by an evergreen hedge, the house is accessed via a pathway to the front of the cottages. It is possible to park in the lane, if not adjoining roads nearby.

The front sitting room has a feature Victorian open fireplace with wooden surround and tiled hearth, and an outlook over the front lawn, which forms part of this property.

A recurring feature of the property are the old pine internal doors, some of which have attractive glazed panels.

The dining room has a window out to the rear, wooden floorboards and a useful under stairs storage cupboard, which the current occupants house a freezer in.

The double aspect kitchen is located to the rear of the house with a half glazed door leading out to the back garden. It is fitted with pale shaker wall and base units with granite effect worktops, tiled floor and splashbacks. There is space for freestanding appliances including an electric cooker, undermount fridge, washing machine and slimline dishwasher. There is also a ground floor WC adjoining the kitchen.

On the first floor are two bedrooms. Both will accommodate double beds, although the second is more comfortably a single, allowing more space for wardrobes desk etc. Both bedrooms have built in cupboards over the stairs and the front bedroom has a further fitted wardrobe in the chimney alcove.

The bathroom, which has a separate WC, is very spacious and accommodated a panelled bath with shower attachment as well as a separate shower cubicle and airing cupboard.

The loft is partially boarded and others in the row have converted this space into additional accommodation, which we believe would be possible here, subject to the necessary consents.

The rear garden is a lovely feature of the property. It has areas of lawn and paved patios and even has a garden shed.
