The Property - A delightfully quirky Grade II listed cottage with a wonderful fusion of contemporary design and period character providing a comfortable and versatile family home. A large modern open plan kitchen has full height sliding glass doors which draw the garden inside the house and is semi open plan to the cosy adjacent family room ideal for day to day living space. A well-proportioned beamed sitting room, with open fireplace, provides more formal entertaining space with a small hobbies room off. A good-sized study can also be used as a downstairs 5th bedroom and on a practical level, a great back entrance/boot room with part vaulted ceiling perfect for country living.

Upstairs 4 further bedrooms all have their own unique character and views with a large modern family bathroom and en suite dressing/shower room to the main bedroom. In all, a manageable house, but with space for everyone to find their own corner.

The garden is a wonderful feature of the house. Extending to around 0.75 acres and featuring large, lawn areas and an outdoor swimming pool, by the terrace at the back of the house. There are various stocked beds and 2 garden sheds. As you step through the gate from the double garage the garden has a lovely open feel.
