Believed to date from the early 18th century, this Grade II listed cottage is steeped in history and character, offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create a truly individual home. Constructed of chalk block elevations beneath a traditional tiled roof, and with its original iron casement windows still in place, the property has remained within the same family ownership for more than thirty years. Over that time, it has been much loved and now presents as a home ready for a fresh chapter, with scope for sympathetic updating.

The ENTRANCE HALL immediately sets the tone, with tiled flooring and a traditional layout that leads to the principal rooms. To the front, two reception spaces provide excellent proportions and flexible living.

The SITTING ROOM is centred around an Inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam, stone hearth and inset woodburning stove, providing a central focal point for the room and a reminder of the property’s heritage. Fitted timber shelving, window seat, exposed beams, and a traditional window overlooking the village street add to the charm.

The front facing DINING ROOM with exposed timber floorboards and window seat, offers generous space for a family table and chairs, providing versatility to serve as a second sitting room/snug or study if preferred.

The KITCHEN is positioned to the rear of the property, within a later extension, and benefits from a pleasant outlook across the garden. It is currently fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units beneath laminate worktops, providing both storage and preparation space. The laminate worksurface has an inset ceramic hob, and a large stainless-steel sink with mixer tap over and timber drainer, which is positioned under the window overlooking the rear garden. A Hotpoint™ mid-level oven is set within a tall timber housing unit. The room is well proportioned, easily accommodating a dining table and chairs. A walk-in pantry adds additional valuable storage.

Off the kitchen is a practical UTILITY/CLOAKROOM with rear window, W.C and wash-hand basin. There is space and connection for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer. Storage cupboards and shelving provide storage space. Additionally, there is space for coats and boots. This additional area ensures the main kitchen can be used primarily as a living and dining space.

From the hallway, stairs rise to the first floor, where the character continues. The landing features exposed floorboards and beams, leading to the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which is a particularly spacious double. This room enjoys a dual aspect to both the front and rear, allowing natural light to flood in. A generous timber wardrobe has been cleverly built into the alcove adjoining the chimney breast. Adjacent is a pretty corner fireplace with curved grate providing a charming period touch.
