DESCRIPTION: This is truly rare opportunity to acquire a stunning
detached character cottage located in this tranquil location with
approximately 6.8 acres in total with a stream meandering through its
grounds. The location of the property is so highly sought after with a
mixture of pasture, woodland and the stream, as well as all benefiting
from being located on the edge of this picturesque village. There is also
an abundance of nature on your doorstep including Kingfishers, Herons,
Otter and Ducks regularly visiting the property but to name a few. The
cottage benefits from spacious four bedroom (one ensuite)
accommodation with two reception rooms, a study and a kitchen /
breakfast room. Throughout the property is a wealth of character features
including beamed ceilings, latched doors and inglenook fireplaces. To the
right of the cottage is a detached double garage, which benefits from
planning permission for ancillary accommodation above (the work for this
has been started but not completed). Whilst to the rear of the property is
a detached granary, which benefits from planning permission to convert
into a two bedroom holiday let. Properties of this calibre and components
rarely become available to the open market with the agents strongly
recommending a full internal inspection to fully appreciate everything that
is on offer.

From the parking area there is a driveway which leads around to the rear
of the property and to the granary. The granary is currently used for
additional garaging / workshops but benefits from planning permission for
conversion into a two bedroom holiday cottage with the planning
permission number being 1/774/2001/24/15. It is believed that the
vendor has commenced work so the planning permission is still current
and we have a letter on file dated 11th October 2006 to confirm that the
drains have been laid in relation to the conversion of the outbuilding to a
holiday let.
From the yard a bridge leads over the stream to the paddock area, which
is currently laid to pasture. There is also a small pond and stone bridge
which gives separate vehicular access to this area. There is a strip of
woodland and elevated above and behind the property is a further area of
ground, which is laid to mainly woodland. There is also a seating area here
where views can be enjoyed over the surrounding valley.
