The accommodation has been sympathetically refurbished and extended throughout retaining many characterful features. More recently in the last two years or so the thatched roof has been replaced and there has been a substantial single storey conversion of an existing outbuilding which has created a wonderful modern kitchen and two bath/ shower rooms, both offering luxury and charm, in keeping with the cottage's era.

Stepping into the cottage you are immediately greeted by the wonderful sitting room with beamed ceilings and a feature open fireplace. To the side is access to the third bedroom, which has windows to the front and rear and could also be ideal as an additional reception room if desired.

Moving through from the living room you enter the kitchen extension with a great array of units, wood worktops and access to outside. There is space and plumbing for appliances as well as tiled flooring and splashback areas. There are two bath/ shower rooms on the ground floor, the bathroom offering a high specification traditional suite with roll top freestanding bath, tiled walls, and decorative tiled flooring. The shower room, is equally a high specification and is fitted with a more contemporary suite with Japanese inspired toilet, double walk in shower and tiled wall areas.
