The kitchen/dining room has a wonderful feel with excellent storage space and a range of traditional units, built in cupboards, tiled floor and stairs to the first floor. A door also leads to the utility with rear access. The first floor consists of an impressive main bedroom with wall and ceiling beams, a further double bedroom with Victorian fireplace plus the bathroom with lots of character. The well established and private cottage gardens are also a real feature, being terraced with seating areas plus a summer house, studio and workshop, all with electricity connected.
