The property is located in a conservation area, tucked away off a private, unmade lane, and set to the rear of its plot, adjoining a field to the rear which provides a lovely outlook. There is ample off road parking, and a double garage.

The kitchen has oak-faced units, integrated electric double oven and hob, space and plumbing for dishwasher, space for fridge-freezer and wall mounted gas central heating boiler. Off the kitchen is a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with casement door to the garden, brick inglenook fireplace and a wood burner which can also supply hot water.

From the dining hall, an open plan staircase leads to the main first floor landing which has an airing cupboard. Bedroom 1 is a dual aspect room with a loft access and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has an en suite cloakroom, and there is a spacious shower room with a loft access. Bedroom 3 is accessed off a lower landing.

The majority of the gardens, to the front of the cottage, comprise lawns interspersed with trees and shrubs. At the rear the property adjoins a field which provides lovely views.
