Charming three bedroom thatched period village house with a garage, in the centre of a good village
The property is believed to date back to the 18th Century, perhaps earlier still and once formed part of the village pub the Masons Arms - and has rendered elevations under thatched and slate roofs. Character features include a timber ceiling, an open fireplace, window seats and brace and ledge doors. Apart from its position to the centre of a sought-after village, its inherent advantage is that although it is within the Conservation Area, it is not Listed.
The cottage has two generously proportioned living rooms, with the sitting room lying to the front of the property with, to one end, a lovely original inglenook fireplace that has been fitted with a large multi fuel burning stove set on flagstones, with a timbered ceiling and two window seats facing one another. To the rear of the cottage there is an attractive southerly facing kitchen/dining room with space for a substantial farmhouse style kitchen table to its centre and a fitted kitchen to one end. The kitchen area is equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards, with an integrated electric oven and gas hob and space for a fridge/freezer and a washing machine. To one end of the kitchen there is a large window allowing those seated at the table to take in the views over the gardens behind and to the village church above. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom. Upstairs there are three good bedrooms two of which have built-in wardrobe space. The property has gas-fired central heating and some double glazing.
To the rear of the property there is a sheltered, paved eating area which is enclosed by a semi-circular wall, above which there is attractive herbaceous and shrub planting. To one side steps lead up to the main body of the garden, that wraps around the cottage to the left and that is for the most part laid to lawn and edged by further herbaceous shrub and hedge planting. To one corner there is a seating area organised to take in the best of the last of the sun. To the end of the garden a gate leads through to an area of gravel where there is a garage in the centre of a block of three that has an up and over door.
