Entering the property via the front door we are welcomed into the sitting room where the character that flows through the entire cottage is instantly apparent. Timber flooring underfoot comes alive in the natural light the flows in through the two aspects of this room, an exposed brick wall contrasts against the floor and an open fireplace gives home to our wood burning stove. Stepping through the door way we enter the dining room where practical tiled flooring complements the space an open fire place is again in situ whilst a window over looks our rear gardens. From here stairs rise to the first floor and a doorway leads to the kitchen. The kitchen has been equipped to benefit modern living whilst retaining its charm. Timber fronted units are set over a practical tiled floor, space is made for our washing machine, fridge freezer and cooker whilst a butler sink sits below the window over looking the front gardens. At the rear a stable door opens to the garden area whilst a door at the end of the room opens to our bathroom which is fitted with a contemporary white suite. Climbing the stairs to the first floor we find our two bedrooms both dual aspect rooms providing a view around the whole garden.
