PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Tudor Cottage is believed to date back to late 16th century with a mid-Victorian wing and a further single storey rear extension added in the late 1960’s.  Sympathetically refurbished in recent years and exposing stunning beamed rooms and an Inglenook fireplace, it retains its true architectural style.  Entrance is into the reception hall with study area off to the side with large “porthole” window with views of the side garden.  Wooden flooring runs through most of downstairs and the majority of windows are double glazed.  There is a downstairs shower room and then at end of the hallway is a fully glazed door, allowing for much natural light.  The dining room has beamed walls and ceilings and the room flows round into the fitted kitchen.  The kitchen has cream shaker style units and dual aspect looking out across the terrace and garden beyond.  A stable door gives direct access, perfect for “al fresco” dining and entertaining.  Back at the front of the house is the sitting room with Inglenook incorporating a wood burner and a built-in high level “candle cupboard”.  The room features  beautiful beams.  Next to this is a little under the stair’s “nook” with lighting.  The staircase takes you up to the landing with main bedroom overlooking the front and lovely meadow views.  Both the main and second bedroom have part vaulted ceilings with original structural timbers.  The main bedroom has built in wall to wall wardrobe.  There is also a cloakroom and single bedroom upstairs.

OUTSIDE
The property affronts The Street with wrought iron railings running along the boundary and pedestrian gate leading to the front door.  Pretty planting including Lavender offers colour in-between a variety of shrubs and a Yew bush as well as a beautiful Wisteria on the side of the cottage .  Further railings take you through to the side and main garden.  A recently laid wide terrace across the back allows an uninterrupted garden view to sit and enjoy in peace and harmony.  Steps with planted borders either side then lead up to the lawn with mature trees, including a Magnolia, a Bay,  Vertiginous Oak,  Bird Cherry, Silver Birch, Holly and Hornbeam.  There is a shed with further seating area behind.  The borders of the garden are a combination of hedged and fenced boundaries with planted areas within featuring various flowers and herbaceous borders.  The detached garage has a workshop on the end with a  back door accessed via the garden.  A path to the side then takes you to a low gate and the front of the garage with electric roller door.  The private driveway offers ample off road parking.
