Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A detached character cottage, understood to have been extended during the 1970s, constructed of cob and brick elevations under a thatched roof. The property retains many of its period features and has been sympathetically maintained by the current owners. A handmade solid oak door leads to a split level reception hall with a cloakroom. There is a sitting room which has a fireplace housing a wood burning stove, a dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace and a triple aspect kitchen. To the first floor there is a galleried landing, three bedrooms (one with vanity sink unit) and a bathroom with laundry recess. The majority of the rooms are dual aspect. Outside there is brick paved driveway leading to a garage/workshop, three patio areas and well enclosed cottage garden. The village cricket green and playing field is within a few seconds walk of the property.
Agent’s Note: A fine example of a well cared for period cottage with immense character. An internal viewing highly recommended.
LOCATION
The cottage is situated in the rural community of the Winterslows, which provide a range of amenities including a Post Office, shops, public houses, a doctor’s surgery/pharmacy and primary school, which has been awarded Beacon School status.
