Described by selling agent Fine & Country as “deceptively spacious” with over 2,000 sq ft of living space, the property is believed to date back to the 17th century as a former shoemaker’s cottage.

Elsewhere on the ground floor are a study, shower room, cloakroom, another staircase to the first floor and one of the four bedrooms which has a double aspect and exposed beams.

The remaining three bedrooms and a family bathroom are found on the first floor. All are of a good size and the smallest of the three has French doors leading on to a quirky roof terrace overlooking the surrounding grounds.
To the front of the property is a shingled driveway providing off-street parking and a cottage garden with established planting, while the rear features a private suntrap courtyard and a further mature garden extending to around 0.6 acres (subject to measured survey).
Fine & Country says that the grounds have “scope for additional living accommodation/income” as they offer plenty of space to expand.
The property also has a useful detached double garage.
