Dating from the 1600's and located within the heart of the village, The Priory Cottage is a beautiful Grade II Listed property that has undergone sympathetic modernisation under current ownership - and what a great job they have done!
But don't take our word for it...come and have a look for yourself.
The primary entrance is to the front, but more commonly our sellers use the rear entrance as it is readily accessed from the off-street parking adjacent to the garden.
From the front, you enter into a welcoming hallway, with a tiled floor which extends throughout the ground floor.
Ahead of you is a spacious sitting room, complete with beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace with inset woodburning stove. There is also a glazed door to the garden, and doorway to the stairwell to the first floor.
Next you have a lobby cloakroom, with storage cupboard, leading to the ground floor family bathroom, which has been updated with a modern suite.
At the end of the hall you have a very generous kitchen/dining room, again having undergone considerable updating and boasts a modern but complementary range of fitted cabinets and integral appliances. The back door conveniently leads directly to the off-road parking area. A second staircase takes you to the first floor.
So, to the upstairs, where you will find four bedrooms, two of which are connected by a really useful dressing room, but also independently accessed. The smallest of the bedrooms is currently used as a home office/study but has comfortably taken a small double bed. And off the landing is a cloakroom/W.C. for your convenience.
Over the seven years our sellers have enjoyed living here, they have made considerable improvements in addition to those already mentioned; The windows and doors were all replaced, with listed building consent granted, and the roof was re-felted and re-batoned, with replacement guttering fitted to the front too. With the upgrade to the central heating system, a new external oil-fire boiler was installed along with a replacement oil storage tank, and a new timber garage was erected.
Finally, a mention of the garden, which is bigger and afforded more privacy than you may expect from a central village location. Enclosed by fence panelling, there is a gate for access to and from the parking area, with the majority laid to lawn with planted beds, a feature wildlife pond and two patio terraces.
There is a small flying freehold with neighbouring Smithy Cottage.
