Down a few steps from the entrance hall is the formal dining room with French doors to the garden. The double aspect reception room is a wonderful space with original beams and open fireplace and from here a door leads to the second reception room which has plentiful built-in storage and would make a superb home office or children's playroom. Further to this, the downstairs comprises a back door entrance hall/boot room and a utility room/cloakroom. On the first floor is the main bedroom with excellent en suite bathroom with built in wardrobes, two good sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom. There is a small dressing room/ nursery and a family bathroom. Gardens and Grounds The current owners are extremely keen gardeners and have created and nurtured the beautiful gardens that surround the property. The cottage itself sits nicely within the plot and hence enjoys views from every room. There are open lawns with a huge number of carefully selected evergreen shrubs, plants and trees to create a year round display of interesting colour and shape, interspersed with perennial flowers including roses and hydrangeas to add an extra burst of colour in the summer months. The property is approached through a five bar gate and over a gravel track and drive with parking for several cars. There is a two bay open car barn and a number of sheds for storage.
