" A period 2 bedroom semi-detached cottage in a delightful Forest location with garden, paddock, stable and outbuildings in about 0.5 acres with Forest Rights. Description: The original cottage is believed to have origins from the 1600's, originally thatched (now tiled) and later extended and modernised. Purchasers should note the two bedrooms on the first floor are approached via a ladder style staircase. Original features have been incorporated including an inglenook fireplace with bread oven fitted with a wood burning stove. Ceiling and wall beams, ledged and braced doors all add to the charm and feel of this extremely well maintained cottage both inside and out. Electric night storage heating is supplemented by a woodburning stove in the kitchen fitted with a back boiler feeding additional radiators. A restored oak framed, tiled roof and timber clad barn plus a recently constructed double garage with elevations to match the barn, a modern stable and ancillary outbuildings will mean the property will appeal to a wide range of buyers with varying interests.
