This Grade II Listed stone thatched cottage is a rare gem. Dating back to the mid/late 17th Century with 20th Century alterations. Offering a combination of historical significance and modern convenience. Formerly two cottages and converted to one home in 1968, the property is constructed of coarse local ironstone beneath a thatched roof with casement windows. The property has been sympathetically modernised whilst retaining all the period charm and character.

The inviting living room features exposed wooden beams, window seating, a stone fireplace containing a multi-fuel open fireplace with a functioning lined chimney creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances while retaining its rustic charm. Featuring wooden cabinetry, window seating, a ceramic one and a half basin sink with waste disposer, fitted appliances to include fridge, oven and hob. The separate dining room again with window seating features an Inglenook fireplace with its original bread oven and provides an intimate setting for family meals and entertaining guests. A shower/utility room with space for dishwasher and a separate study complete the ground floor. The cellar houses the modern oil fired boiler & spaces for washing machine, tumble dryer, additional refrigerator and several freezers. On the upper floors, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with unique character features such as original wooden beams. The principal bedroom has bespoke fitted wardrobes. There are two tastefully updated bathrooms, blending contemporary fittings with a classic style.

Outside

A private gravelled driveway provides off-road parking leading to a detached stone garage beneath a slate roof with electric up and over door (for which the current owners use to house two vehicles).

The charming gardens are a tranquil retreat, lovingly maintained to a high standard. Fully enclosed and principally laid to lawns, the gardens are complimented by a mix of mature trees and well stocked colourful flowering borders. A paved terrace, adjacent to the property, has steps that meander through the gardens. There is a greenhouse and potting shed. The garden offers commanding views across distant countryside. In all, 0.29 of an acre.
