It is heated via an oil-fired central heating system powering under floor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the floors above - as well as some electric heating. The property also boasts high quality period-style uPVC double glazing. It is very well presented and boasts a handmade, bespoke, hand painted Shaker-style kitchen. There is a private, lawned garden at the rear enjoying an easterly aspect, with a large garden store. The cottage enjoys views to countryside and hills at the rear, beyond neighbouring properties.
