Lilac Cottage is the archetypal dream home. A lovely Grade II Listed, thatched cottage, believed to date back in parts to the sixteenth century, with dormer windows on both the front and the back of the property. The house is complemented by a pretty, part-walled garden, with generous ornamental borders. Indoors you will find a home that has been beautifully looked after and provides everything you need for stylish, comfortable living. In spite of its age and the wealth of exposed beams, ceiling heights are up to modern standards, so there is no need to constantly stoop to avoid bumping your head. With its combination of charm, style and modern convenience, Lilac Cottage fulfils its promise wonderfully.

Entrance Hall	x . Semi-circular steps lead down from the front door into the entrance hall. Unlike many ancient buildings, you'll find excellent ceiling heights throughout the ground floor.

Sitting Room	17'10\" x 14' (5.44m x 4.27m). The formal sitting room has French doors with full height side-lights overlooking the garden. The open fire makes it a cosy room in winter, while the views of the garden make it a great room for summer parties.

Sun Room	18'11\" x 3'5\" (5.77m x 1.04m). The semi-circular sun room is in many ways the heart of the cottage.

To the rear of the garage, where the wrought iron spiral staircase leads to the annexe, a section of walled garden provides additional, secluded sitting space next to the magnificent wisteria, which provides the background to a small, tasteful fountain.
