The Property
The Old Cottage, dating in part from 1747 and thoughtfully combined with a later Victorian addition, offers a truly distinctive and charming period home. Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained by the current owner for over 30 years, the property blends historic character with comfortable modern living.
The welcoming entrance hall, complete with a practical ground floor cloakroom, leads into an attractive kitchen/dining room featuring a range of shaker-style cabinetry, a matching dresser, and solid wood worktops.
Steps descend to an impressive and generously proportioned sitting room rich in period character, where striking inglenook fireplaces anchor either end of the space and a former bread oven provides an additional historic feature. Enjoying a dual-aspect outlook, the room is filled with natural light and benefits from French doors opening directly onto the delightful cottage garden.
Further steps lead to a useful cellar and a separate utility/laundry room.
The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms served by a contemporary shower room, alongside an exceptional principal suite featuring a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure.
