Property Description: The heart of this home is certainly the characterful cottage style kitchen with exposed beams and tiled floor, which is spacious enough for a standalone kitchen island and a dining table. The kitchen is fitted with units for plenty of storage and there is an integrated dishwasher, electric oven and induction hob. There is also space for a fridge freezer. Off the kitchen there are two large cupboards, one for storage and the other has plumbing for a washing machine with space above for a tumble dryer. Off the tiled entrance hall is the sitting room with a wood-burning stove.
Upstairs there is a good size landing which is split, one side with a lovely window seat and the other has space for a desk so could be used as a study area. The main double bedroom is generous in size for a cottage and has an alcove which is currently used as a wardrobe. The other bedroom is also a double, has a wooden floor and is light and bright with dual aspect. There is a beautifully presented shower room with a walk in shower.
All through the house, because of the thickness of the walls, all the windows have deep window sills and all the windows are double glazed making this a very cosy cottage with period features including exposed stone walls and beams.
Outside: To the front of the property there is an area that can be used to park one car or alternatively this can be used as a sit out which gets the afternoon sun. Although this property does not have a garden, a short walk away is the village community orchard with picnic tables and benches, which is delightful place to sit and take in the view across the valley.
