Dating back to the 1850s, this charming former farmer’s cottage has been thoughtfully extended and completely transformed by the current owners, creating a beautifully presented family home where period character meets contemporary living.
The accommodation has been carefully designed with modern family life in mind and comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, characterful lounge and cloakroom, together with a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room forming the heart of the home. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the west-facing rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and making this an ideal home for both family life and entertaining.

To the front, a driveway provides convenient off-road parking.
Situated within an attractive village setting with a strong sense of community, this delightful cottage offers the perfect balance of period charm, contemporary comfort and generous outdoor space, making it an ideal place to put down roots and raise a family.
