Decorated and furnished in a country cottage style, making the most of its character and charm, this lovely home is well-positioned on its plot with gardens front and back, and is ready for someone to move in, unpack, and start enjoying their new home. For anyone excited by a project, there is scope to extend (subject to consents); or for the green fingered, the garden is a blank canvas.

The warm and welcoming sitting room features a wonderful, Blue Lias stone inglenook fireplace with the original bread oven and a large inset wood-burning stove. French doors open into the conservatory offering a lovely place to sit and enjoy the garden. A cosier reception room, accessed through the sitting room, is ideal as a snug, study, or playroom and is currently used as a music room.
