Description

Tucked away from the main road and accessed through a pretty gate is this delightful two bedroom period cottage, with a wonderful garden that has been beautifully maintained. Ideal for first time buyers or investment purchaser and the perfect holiday let/second home.
Stooped in history with plenty of period features and was formally a residence for the workers of Shaw Manor.
On the ground floor there is a gorgeous wooden porch taking you through to a stable door and entrance hall with a cupboard (Ideal for coats and shoes) and provides access to a lovely cottage style fitted kitchen/dining room, with double aspect, and a large living room with open fireplace.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms with original painted wooden flooring and a stylish family bathroom. There are attractive character iron radiators in all rooms, and the property has recently undergone new pipework to the interior, with outside pipes/drains having been also recently maintained.
Outside is where this period home really comes in to its own. With a much larger outside space than you would expect, ideal for pottering about and sure to keep any green fingered gardener busy. There is a lawned area with well established boarders, paths leading through well planted areas and private spaces, a summerhouse/garden room with power and light and a large wooden outbuilding which could easily be converted in to a home office/play room/games room.
All in all a real gem of a property, tucked away in a secret location.
