IN SUMMARY
Positioned in the HEART of a CHARMING VILLAGE, this BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED PERIOD COTTAGE offers a unique blend of CHARACTER FEATURES and MODERN UPDATES, making it an ideal ‘lock up and leave’ investment or a perfect first time purchase. The cottage was originally understood to date back to the 1800’s forming one of four cottages owned by the neighbouring Baptist Chapel. Step inside to discover a welcoming sitting room, complete with a striking INGLENOOK FIREPLACE and a cosy multi fuel burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The property boasts a KITCHEN with QUARTZ WORKTOPS, thoughtfully designed for contemporary living while retaining the cottage’s original charm. With TWO AMPLE BEDROOMS and a STYLISH GROUND FLOOR BATHROOM, comfort and practicality are perfectly balanced. Period features, such as exposed beams and traditional finishes, are retained throughout, adding a sense of timeless appeal. The attached layout of the cottage ensures a sense of privacy, while the central village location puts local amenities, independent shops, and countryside walks right on your doorstep.
