" A delightful cottage of considerable character and charm that takes full advantage of the features associated with a building of this period with part brick and tile hung elevations with inset leaded light windows beneath a tiled roof. The cottage is beautifully appointed and provides a very fine and interesting home whilst still retaining all of its inherent character. The cottage is full of character with exposed beams and is far larger than initially anticipated with a spacious sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace opening into the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets, gas hob and an electric oven.
