4 Bed Cottage For Sale

Previously featured on BBC's Escape to the Country,  Pear Tree Cottage is a delightful period cottage and was originally the village post office. It is constructed of painted brick elevations under a recently rethatched roof and is decorated in neutral tones, giving a light and bright feel. The property has been updated over the years to now provide spacious family accommodation and successfully combines a popular blend of traditional features with contemporary modern living. It retains many desirable period features throughout such as exposed beams, thumb latch doors and open fireplaces, offering a wealth of charm and character. On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen/dining room with a range of Shaker style wall and base units with integrated Bosch appliances and electric Rangemaster cooker, Belfast sink, bamboo work surface, woodburning stove and flagstone tiled floor. The sitting room has a feature fireplace with an attractive wood-burning stove. The study and playroom overlook the southwesterly rear garden, and a utility room and downstairs cloakroom add to the convenience. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms with a well-appointed bathroom.

The house is approached via the village street to a parking area and garage. There is a lawned garden enclosed by brick walling and fencing and a gravelled path leading to the front door. A side-gated path leads to the rear garden and is laid to lawn with mature shrubs, pretty flower borders and an array of specimen trees, including pear and plum trees. Adjoining the house is a paved terrace, an ideal location for outside entertaining, with steps leading up to the lawn. There is outside water and lighting, a garden shed, and a greenhouse.
