OVERVIEW
Immaculately presented both inside and out, this unique extended cottage must be viewed to be appreciated. The versatile layout could easily be adapted to create three bedrooms if required and thought and imagination has been used throughout when modernising and updating the property. The living room is a welcoming space - semi open plan to the kitchen which is fitted with neutral modern units which highlight the exposed character beams. The dining room (or third bedroom) to the side has lovely views across the garden towards woodland. The two double bedrooms are on a lower floor along with the stylish bathroom. The garden is well landscaped with low maintenance gravel areas, zoned planting and various seating areas. Off road parking at the front for three cars.
