An attached Victorian cottage situated in a semi rural location yet within walking distance of the village centre. This delightful home has been extended and tastefully improved to blend the original character with modern day living. Upon entering through a spacious porch you are welcomed into a light and airy sitting/dining room featuring an attractive fireplace with wood burning stove creating a cosy atmosphere. The sitting room seamlessly flows into the dining area which then extends to the inner hallway providing access to a stylish downstairs shower room and kitchen/breakfast room. Speaking of which, the kitchen is a lovely room fitted with a range of modern units with space for a table and French doors opening to a paved patio ideal for al fresco dining. To complete the downstairs there is a useful utility room. Venturing upstairs, there is a family bathroom, two double bedrooms and two single bedrooms all of which enjoy countryside and field views. Stepping outside there is a delightful mature garden being of a generous size with two paved patios, area of lawn, shrub and flower borders, hedging, vegetable garden and large single garage. We highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate this charming home.
