A delightful and substantial semi detached character cottage set on a plot in the region of a third of an acre overlooking the village cricket green to the front and fields to the rear. Generous, spacious and flexible accommodation.

STEP INSIDE
The ground floor accommodation is both spacious and flexible and whilst the property is nicely presented with some modern finishes there is still a lot of character that has been retained. Through the property you will find features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, a snug/hallway, a traditional sitting room and a dining room. South facing to the rear allows light to flood into the cottage. You have an inner hall with cloakroom/WC, a generous kitchen/breakfast room to the rear aspect and a useful garden lobby/utility room. The kitchen has plenty of space for all the appliances one needs and a walk in pantry together with plenty of space for a breakfast table. A real family size kitchen.

Going up to the first floor, this home feels equally as spacious as the ground floor. You have 4 well-proportioned double bedrooms, the master is especially generous and features an en-suite. The three other bedrooms share a family bathroom. Also worth mentioning is the excellent storage, with built in wardrobes in several rooms and all rooms benefit from either countryside views to the rear or the village cricket green to the front. It couldn't be a nicer location to open the curtains in the morning.

STEP OUTSIDE
The outside space this property has to offer is sensational and the orientation of the gardens being south facing at the rear, is ideal. Directly at the rear you have a large patio area and separating this from the large lawned garden area is a brook with a bridge over, a lovely feature. The views over open farm land are unspoilt and one also enjoys a good degree of privacy. There is mature hedging and you will find a secluded garden area to the side of the formal garden where one finds a green house and is ideal as a vegetable plot. You could make much greater use of this large area if you wished.

There is potential for extension to the main property, subject to obtaining planning, and the detached double garage could also easily be converted for a variety of uses including a self contained annexe/home office.

At the front there is a pretty lawn front garden enclosed by a picket fence. A driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to the double garage
