This is an exceptionally charming village home with characterful and thoughtfully designed interiors and a generous amount of bright and comfortable flexible accommodation.

A charming kitchen with direct access to the back garden and a lovely sitting room. Upstairs there is a family bathroom, three good-sized bedrooms and an airing cupboard housing a brand-new boiler.

The front door opens from the lane into a porch, which leads directly into the bright and welcoming front reception room which is used by the current owners as a study. A door leads sideways into a charming spacious sitting room, which retains the large recess and impressive exposed timber beam of a former inglenook fireplace. As with most other rooms in the property, the sitting room also benefits from a large window, with the signature deep recess and large window sill/ window seat typical of stone-built cottages of the period. From the sitting room, steps lead up into the kitchen, which looks out to the back garden and is an extremely characterful and thoughtfully designed space, with fitted cream base kitchen units and stylish open shelving above. There is a large gas-fired range-style double oven with a double hob, space for a free-standing fridge freezer and concealed space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher.

An attractive staircase with a curving wooden banister and recessed shelving leads to the first floor, where there is a light and generously-sized modern bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, a heated towel rail and a roof light. All three of the bedrooms feature the characteristic sloping ceiling lines and characterful wooden doors that period homes enjoy. The main bedroom is a spacious and inviting double room with a large window and plenty of storage space with a fitted wardrobe.
