This charming Grade II Listed cottage, while currently requiring modernization, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Nestled in the heart of the village and overlooking a quaint front garden with views extending to the nearby church, this stone-built property exudes character with its original features, including beautifully crafted stone mullioned leaded windows. The outdoor space includes a lovely walled cottage garden along with a driveway that leads to a detached garage needing significant repair.
Spread over two levels, the residence offers adaptable living arrangements. The ground floor welcomes you into a bright dining and sitting area featuring parquet flooring and an inviting open fireplace. Beyond this lies a cozy study/snug equipped with a bay window that allows for easy access to the garden as well as a cloakroom. The kitchen extends from the dining room into a utility/boot room, both providing direct access to the outdoor space. Upstairs, four character-filled bedrooms and a family bathroom await, with the master bedroom benefitting from an en-suite.
On the exterior, the property is accessed via a private lane off Church Street leading to rear parking facilities. A pathway guides you through the mature southeast-facing garden that showcases charming cottage-style planting alongside established shrubs and trees surrounding central lawn space. A gate at the back opens up onto Church Street, facilitating quick access to local amenities.
