PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Dating back to the mid 1800’s, Little Cottage retains much of its character, having whitened rendered elevations under a pitched and gabled clay tiled roof. Entrance is into a hallway with staircase and then door leads into the sitting room which has a large window overlooking the front garden and a newly installed woodburner.  The kitchen is in the middle of the house and features shaker style units and stone flooring which runs through into the utility room.  The breakfast area sits in front of French doors giving access to a side terrace offering a wonderful opportunity for “al fresco” dining to the south of the cottage.  There are 2 built in storage cupboards, one which runs under the stairs and the other opposite which has the boiler in it.  The utility room has a Belfast sink, built in units and appliances and a back door taking you to the rear garden.  From here is the shower room, which is fully tiled and features a large walk-in shower.  Upstairs, there are 2 double bedrooms both with original fireplaces, not in use.  With beautifully presented rooms offering light and airy accommodation, the cottage is charming with a contemporary twist
