Traditionally built, the property has colour washed rendered elevations under a small plain tiled ridged roof, with a brick chimney. It is connected to all mains services, with a gas heating system. The cottage has many outstanding features including an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, exposed beams and timbers, and a large kitchen/breakfast room. This is an opportunity to acquire a good sized 3 bedroom cottage with generally good ceiling height throughout, and great potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents. An entrance hallway (with coat hanging area) and a walkway leads to a dining room overlooking the garden with understairs storage space, wall light points and staircase to first floor.

From the dining room, a short staircase leads to the first floor split level landing, with 3 steps up to an upper landing where there is bedroom 2 which has wall light points, storage cupboard, and vanity unit with wash hand basin, and bedroom 3 has built-in cupboards, and exposed ceiling timbers. The main landing leads to the double aspect main bedroom with pine storage cupboards, and the bathroom comprises a modern bath, separate shower, pedestal basin, WC and storage cupboard. A large stone driveway with space for a number of vehicles and a 5-bar entrance gate leads to a detached double garage with 2 metal up-and-over doors, light and power. The gardens are a real feature of the cottage and mainly surround the property on two sides being enclosed by high timber fencing, conifer and laurel hedgerows, and camellias.
