The overall plot measures just over a quarter of an acre, and the property is offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
The cottage is approached from the driveway, with a timber porch covering the entrance. The heavy oak front door opens into the spacious sitting room, with the centrepiece of the room being the large inglenook fireplace. There is a view of the garden and stairs to the first floor.
