This delightful, period cottage, built in 1851, sits on the High Street of the popular village of Shrewton, close to the church and the local pub. A charming mix of old and new, the cottage offers good sized rooms filled with natural light.
The entrance hall is flanked either side by the drawing room on one side and a sitting room to the right - each with log burners. The stairs come off the hall to the left. At the back of the cottage is a dining room or fourth bedroom with shower room next door. Another reception room – the Morning Room is beyond this and leads through the large kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the lovely courtyard garden, laid to red brick and surrounded by a wall. There is also a garage with a parking space in front.
Upstairs are three good sized bedrooms, the master to one end with an ensuite bathroom and lots of integrated wardrobes. The two other bedrooms are served by another family bathroom.
The accommodation is flexible and surprisingly spacious and all presented in excellent decorative order.
