A classic gabled porch open to a further half glazed door that leads to a spacious double aspect living room that spans the full width of the cottage.

A pair of low sill sash windows with shutters allow an outlook to the front and there is a smaller window again with shutters to the side.

The dining area is visually separated from the sitting area by the rich polished boarded floor and doors open to both the staircase to the first floor and another staircase that descends to the basement level study.

In the sitting area the exposed local stone chimney breast and fireplace frames a wood burning stove that adds even more character and a dairy style plank door leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and floor cupboards and offers ample appliance space. The outlook from here is to the rear garden and an open doorway set in and exposed stone wall leads through to a lean to conservatory that the present owners tell us that they love to sit in or head out to the private gravelled terrace with the lawn stretching away beyond. A door also opens to a cloakroom- utility room with a WC, plumbing for a washing machine, wall cupboards and a Vaillant combi boiler.

The preset owners, a professional couple each has a study - office at home, one using the third double bedroom and one using the basement level cellar with high speed broadband available throughout the cottage.
