A charming three-bedroom link-detached family home dating back to 1872, benefitting from off-road parking and a delightful cottage garden. Occupying an attractive position overlooking the heart of the village, this handsome Victorian former public house offers well-proportioned rooms and a wealth of character features.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with original tiled flooring, leading through to the main living spaces. The dining kitchen is a generous and welcoming room, fitted with a range of units, a butler sink and granite worktops. A gritstone fireplace housing a six-burner range cooker forms the heart of the room and a front-facing sash window provides excellent natural light. This lovely room features original built-in storage and ample space for a large family dining table.
A practical utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering additional storage with fitted shelving, a sink and drainer, and room for a dishwasher, washing machine and American-style fridge freezer. From here, there is access to a cloakroom/WC and barrel-arched cellar, which retains its original salting slabs and also has plumbing for a washing machine.
The sitting room is accessed from the entrance hall and features a front-facing sash window and an ornate open fireplace. An inner hallway beyond provides further fitted storage and an additional utility space which houses the Worcester Bosch boiler.
From the kitchen, stone steps lead to a rear entrance hall with fitted bookshelves and a stable door. The staircase continues up to the first-floor landing, from where all the rooms are accessed.
Bedroom one is a particularly spacious double room with exposed beams and trusses, high ceilings, a feature fireplace and views across the village. Its en-suite has a low-flush WC, shower enclosure and pedestal wash basin.
Bedroom two is another generous double with a similar village outlook, exposed trusses and beams, and an original feature fireplace. Bedroom three sits at the centre of the first floor and has a lovely arched window which overlooks the heart of the village; it is currently used as a snug. A drop-down ladder provides access to the loft, which offers excellent storage.
The family bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a low-flush WC, pedestal wash basin, bath with shower over, chrome heated towel rail and a separate shower enclosure.
Outside
To the front of the property a pedestrian gates opens to a patio area with a outdoor seating and log store. A shared driveway to the side provides off-road parking for one vehicle, with neighbouring properties having a right of way across it. There is also access across a courtyard owned by the neighbouring property.
The cottage’s main garden is separate from the house and is reached from the shared drive. This private garden is laid to lawn, enjoys lovely views of the village, and includes a timber shed and a summer house.
