Believed to have originally comprised two weavers’ cottages, the property was later combined to create a characterful home with wonderful views over the adjoining fields from the garden and landing window.
From the entrance hall, double doors open into the sitting room, featuring an attractive fireplace with a wood-burning stove creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. The kitchen has a rustic charm with its Butler sink and space for a range-style cooker, offering a true country feel. From here, double doors open into a light-filled conservatory, the ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee or unwind while taking in the garden views.
Doors from both the kitchen and sitting room lead to a long rear hallway/utility area, which also provides access to the downstairs family shower room and rear garden.
Upstairs, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a landing with a window framing far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the property enjoys a private front garden, enclosed by a high wall for seclusion from the road. A covered pathway leads to the rear garden, which is of a manageable size and features a raised terrace—a perfect place to relax and take in the picturesque views over fields and rolling hills.
In summary, this delightful cottage combines period charm with everyday convenience. With its easy access to the train station and town amenities, it would make a wonderful full-time residence, investment opportunity, or bolt-hole in the country.
