Property description
The property is a stunning period home offering a wealth of character features, however the biggest feature is outside space. The grounds have been separated out into formal gardens with seating areas leading on to the more productive gardens which include greenhouses, polytunnels, veg plots, chicken run, bee hives and even a small orchard. The cottage itself is a charming country home with panoramic views over the surrounding area. Accommodation comprises: Lounge with solid fuel burner, fitted kitchen diner, utility room, sun room, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A welcome addition is the ample parking provided by the drive which leads to the generous single garage with a workshop. The current owners had plans drawn to extend at the rear adding a two storey extension that would provide two additional bedrooms (subject to planning permission).
