A beautifully renovated, double-fronted Grade II Listed thatched cottage offering spacious and light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors. Rich in period charm, the property boasts three generous bedrooms and enjoys a tranquil rural setting backing onto open countryside, with far-reaching rear views and direct access to scenic walks via the neighbouring bridleway.
The Dwelling
Formerly two separate dwellings, this charming double-fronted Grade II Listed thatched cottage offers light-filled and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors, brimming with period features throughout. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owner, the property boasts generous ground floor reception rooms and three well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, all set within a delightful location backing onto neighbouring countryside.
Accommodation
Upon entering through the front porch, you are welcomed into a generously proportioned dining room with a feature hamstone fireplace. Flowing seamlessly into the kitchen at the rear of the property. Well-suited for modern living, the kitchen provides a cottage style kitchen with wooden worktops, 1 1⁄2 ceramic sink alongside a range cooker and hood. Off the kitchen, a rear boot room leads to a convenient cloakroom/utility room, also accommodating additional white goods.
The ground floor has a natural circular flow, with the living room accessible from both the kitchen and dining room. This inviting space is centred around a feature fireplace and benefits from dual-aspect windows, allowing for plenty of natural light.
The first floor is arranged over a split-level landing. To the left is the principal bedroom, along with the newly fitted family bathroom, which features a roll-top bath and a rain shower over. To the opposite side are two further bedrooms, including a second bedroom with a generous built-in wardrobe. A large storage room can be located off the landing.
Garden
The large cottage garden features a paved patio area directly adjacent to the house, complemented by terraced stone wall flower beds with a central stone step and pathways weaving through the landscaped grounds. At the top of the terrace, a level lawn provides an open space, with a decked area beneath pergola. To the opposite side of the garden, a summer house and a stone-built shed add further appeal and functionality. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging, offering privacy and includes a rear pedestrian gate providing direct access to a neighbouring public bridleway with wonderful country side walks.
