About this property

An individual detached family home offering a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Dating back in part over 200 years, the property showcases a timeless cottage-style appearance, complemented by thoughtful contemporary additions.

Constructed from attractive local ironstone beneath a steeply pitched tiled roof with UPVC double glazed windows, the home enjoys an enviable setting on the edge of the village within mature gardens and grounds extending to approximately a third of an acre. The setting provides a peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle while remaining conveniently connected to local amenities.

The sitting room features a stone inglenook fireplace with log burner and exposed ceiling beams reflecting the home’s heritage. The dining room features a bay window overlooking the gardens. A well fitted kitchen forms the hub of the house connecting with the reception rooms. It is well fitted with a range of modern base and eye level units, complimented with stone work surfaces and integrated appliances including dishwasher and fridge and featuring an electric Aga.
