Tucked away in a peaceful village setting, this charming period cottage has been cherished by the current owners for over 25 years and is now offered to the market with no onward chain.

Brimming with warmth and traditional character, the home offers a delightful blend of original features and comfortable living, with accommodation comprising two spacious double bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, and a generously sized sitting/dining room anchored by a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove set on a granite hearth.

Throughout the property, character details abound, including exposed beams and stonework, slate flooring, ledged timber doors, and beautiful timber floorboards. The original covered storm porch provides a traditional front entrance, though everyday access is often through the rear porch, which opens into a slate-floored hallway with stairs leading to the first floor. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with a range of cabinets and an oil-fired Rayburn range, and a separate electric oven with a 4-ring gas hob. A ground floor shower/utility room adds further practicality.

Upstairs, both double bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and the larger of the two enjoys a dual aspect. A bright and neatly finished family bathroom with a white three-piece suite completes the accommodation. Historically, the cottage was arranged with three bedrooms, and it remains perfectly feasible to reinstate this original layout if desired.

Outside, the property benefits from a gated tarmac parking area and an attached open-fronted garage with internal lighting. A few steps lead up to a sheltered rear courtyard – an ideal suntrap – and a gravel pathway winds past a neighbouring cattle barn to reach the principal garden. This lovely, private outdoor space is filled with established planting including roses, camellias, a magnolia, and a flowering cherry, offering a peaceful retreat for gardening enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

A timber tool shed and pergola add further charm. While the cottage itself is not Listed, the site is steeped in history, with records of settlement dating back centuries and mention in the Domesday Book, adding a rich sense of heritage to this unique and characterful home.
