DESCRIPTION A beautiful detached grade II listed period cottage of substantial proportions that has been lovingly renovated and updated in the last 25 years by the present owners.

The accommodation sympathetically blends period character with contemporary features all of which is complimented by the quite stunning views over the surrounding countryside.Thatched Cottage is quite simply one of those homes you fall in love with. Whilst the main house provides generous living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, a snug or garden room, utility room and a stunning kitchen/ breakfast room there is also a good size self contained annex that can just as easily be separate accommodation, as it can be integrated within the house. The annex is ideal for those who those who work from home or may wish to earn additional income from letting or Air BnB.STEP INSIDE The large Oak front door opens into a charming, good size dining room which is double aspect to the front and rear. The flagstone floor sets off the room together with the beams and in particular the large cast iron cooking stove that is set into the chimney breast. This is a great room for entertaining friends and family. Doors open into the snug/garden room which is majority glazed with exposed flint and red brick walls, slate floor and amazing views down the garden and the valley beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has been hand built with a mix of Walnut and Maple units and slate and timber worktops with inset sink, a designer glass prep sink, numerous integrated appliances including two ovens, a microwave, five burner hob, cooker hood, two fridges, a wine fridge, coffee maker and a dishwasher.
