About this property

Believed to have been built around 1660 and the oldest inhabited building within this Conservation Area and within an area of outstanding natural beauty, this stunning Grade II Listed cottage is of a traditional brick and flint construction with refurbished interior whilst retaining a wealth of character.

Combining it’s cosy cottage charm with its sleek contemporary interior, this unique property is full of character. The entire interior was sympathetically renovated to an impressive specification in 2015. Once a cow barn, the welcoming open plan, vaulted ceiling-ed entrance hallway, kitchen and dining room boast the exposed beams from their conversion in 2004. The hallway provides a series of storage cupboards while the kitchen is fully equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted units and integrated appliances. Velux windows ensure a naturally light dining room which leads to the rear garden via a stable-style door. The original exposed beams throughout the rest of the cottage add further to its individuality. The sitting room also features a wood burning stove in the original brick fire place. Stairs lead to the first floor and doors to the study and downstairs bedroom which has double French doors to the rear cottage-style garden. A further door continues to a lobby area which, in turn, leads to a wet room with underfloor heating. Upstairs, the family bathroom, providing both bath and shower facilities, also benefits from underfloor heating. The first-floor bedrooms and landing include fitted double wardrobes with ample storage. Both bedrooms enjoy beautiful views of the picturesque church opposite. Packed with personality, this immaculately refurbished property has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
