Upham

A superb period cottage, lying within a picturesque location in the village of Upham. The property we understand dates from circa the 1820's and once the village bakers shop. The house has been beautifully renovated and extended in more recent years, retaining the charm and character of the house - both inside and out. The stylish and well proportioned accommodation is deceptively spacious and early interest is highly recommended. The heating is oil fired and is complimented with a fireplace and wood burning stove. There are three good sized bedrooms, along with an en-suite and family bathroom. On the ground floor there is a useful cloakroom and a versatile reception room, currently used as a study - perfect for home working. The spacious sitting room has double aspect windows overlooking the pretty, well stocked cottage gardens. The kitchen/dining room has recently been re-fitted and impressively compliments the cottage. Generous driveway parking to the front.
