Within a picturesque village setting is this charming Grade II listed cottage which is steeped in history and character, constructed circa 1650, with custodians including Sir Barnes Wallis! The property sits on a generous plot of approximately a third of an acre with beautiful established gardens to the front and rear.

On the ground floor there is generous family/dining room on entry which provides a pleasant view over the front garden, along with access to the rear garden via double doors. A further study provides a perfect place for those working from home, with ample fitted shelving and units, but equally this room could lend itself as a further bedroom, with plumbing and WC on hand if ever a shower room/en-suite was required. The main reception is an attractive central sitting room, complete with feature inglenook fireplace and solid fuel burner and from here, a small run of steps leads down to the kitchen/breakfast room that overlooks the rear garden and provides a two oven Aga and further utility/store.

Located off the sitting room is a generous lobby with external side door and large storage cupboard with plumbing for WC, hand basin and washing machine. From here stairs rise to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, the principal of which provides a large en-suite shower room in addition to a walk-in-wardrobe. There is also a further generous bathroom that services the remaining bedrooms and spacious shelved airing cupboard with hanging rail and space for clothes airer.

Outside the gardens have ample planted beds providing an array of colour in addition to a well established wild patch, brimming with common orchids (which the attractive summer house takes full advantage of), along with the raised vegetable beds. Further there is a greenhouse and substantial garage block and store, complete with power, light and roof storage space. The rear garden offers a pleasant outlook over woodland and enjoys a favoured westerly aspect, perfect for enjoying summer evenings with friends and family. It should be noted that there is also huge potential to extend the property to the rear, subject to the necessary consents.
