Description

The Cider Barn is a quintessential thatched village cottage, with the modern features of a property which was built in 1991. As the name would suggest, the site was once the original cider barn for the village with some of the original stonework and beams still evident. Cleverly mixing character features with modern convenience, the cottage built of stone with timber frame windows, has spacious accommodation.
 
 
 
 
 
 

As illustrated by the floor plan the accommodation is well laid out with large, open plan sitting / dining room and open fireplace, kitchen / breakfast room with utility, study area, cloakroom and access to the adjoining double garage.

On the first floor are four good sized double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes with the master bedroom having an en-suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom, airing cupboard and additional storage cupboard on the spacious landing.

Outside

The property is approached via the village lane across a short, shared drive to a private walled garden. The driveway sweeps to the rear of the property and there is parking for 2/3 cars in front of the large double garage. The cottage gardens are laid mainly to level lawns surrounded by flower and shrub borders, whilst to the rear is an apple tree with a climbing clematis.
