Accommodation - Stepping through the canopied porch and stable-style door into this charming cottage, you will be immediately struck by the seamless blend of contemporary features and period character. The open plan kitchen and family/dining room has natural light in abundance by virtue of a window to the side, a thoughtfully placed skylight and bifold doors to the rear that provide attractive views of the garden, Langton Caudle and countryside beyond.

A brace and latch door leads through to the snug which, with its open fireplace set within an exposed brick hearth, offers you the perfect retreat to relax and unwind during autumn and winter’s evenings. A defined, cosy corner, yet with open flow through to the dining room at the front of this cottage, which itself has an abundance of charm and period features such as exposed beams and feature range-oven set within the chimney breast. The original “front door” at the side, remains purely as an aesthetic feature, is tucked to the corner of this room while the leaded double-glazed window at the front frames a view of the old, red telephone box, (that now serves as the community defibrillator).

Oak stairs lead up to the landing and past windows at the side that offer splendid rural views. On the landing are exposed wooden floorboards and enough space for a bookcase. There are three double bedrooms, the master bedroom is tucked to the rear of the cottage, and is accessed through an anteroom, that is currently used as a home office/study but could serve as a dressing room.
