Inside, comfortable and welcoming with good-sized rooms, polished wood floors (rugs) and, from upstairs (high apex beams, Velux windows/sloping eaves), pretty countryside/church views.
Terracotta-tiled entrance lobby (space for coats/boots) to comfy living room (Smart TV/PVR) with 'living flame' gas stove.
Kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, fridge, induction hob/electric oven, Bluetooth stereo).
Ground-floor double bedroom.
Two smart shower-rooms (suites) with tiled floors.
Rear porch/utility (washing machine, freezer) with stable doors to garden.
Upstairs (steep narrow stairs, rope rail), making the most of the lofty eaves space and the views, a double bedroom and a room with two singles (both doors/lintels approx. 6' x 2').
No children under 6, except pre-crawling babies, due to steep stairs.
A 'chocolate box' cottage in a friendly village location, an excellent base for wonderful walks and cycle rides.
