Dating back to 1661, the original building was enlarged with an early Victorian addition in 1840 and the cottage was once the local post office.

Now fully renovated, the current owners have been sympathetic to the period feel by tastefully marrying modern styling to the existing character. 

The main part of the property has a well-equipped, good-sized kitchen/diner, a boot room with WC and a superb sitting room. 

In addition there is an ample master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two further generous double bedrooms and an elegant family bathroom on the first floor. 

The older and particularly characterful part of the cottage is currently used as a self-contained annexe which consists of a study, utility room, garden room and a delightful snug with stairs off to the master double bedroom with cloakroom en-suite.

Externally the property sits within a plot of half-an-acre and includes an array of wonderful flower beds in a good-sized rear garden mostly laid to lawn with courtyard gravel area and two large apple trees. 

The majority of the planting areas are edged with reclaimed railway sleepers.
