A charming attached Georgian three bedroom, brick and pantile, cottage believed to date from the early 1700s and situated in the conservation area.

The living accommodation has charm and character, retaining original features. Benefitting from an oil fired central heating system the accommodation can be briefly described as follows:

Front entrance door leading to entrance hall with staircase, living room with fireplace housing a wood burning stove, dining room with beamed ceiling and period fireplace, kitchen fitted with a Stanley oil fired cooking range which also fires the oil central heating system. Additionally a corridor accesses unrenovated rooms consisting of a back kitchen, pantry and coal store which could be restored to provide further living space within the existing footprint. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a lobby which connects to an additional room which could be restored to provide a fourth double bedroom or bathroom..

Outside, to the frontage, is a low brick wall with path and garden areas laid to lawn, borders and planted with shrubs. To the rear are enclosed courtyard style garden areas and a brick built barn which requires renovation.

This delightful cottage offers considerable potential to improve and extend within the existing footprint and further enhance this charming, period, family home.
