A characterful semi-detached Grade II listed cottage dating back to the 16th Century. Originally, a single cottage known as Hyde Farmhouse was divided approximately 15 years ago into two separate cottages, each benefiting from a private garden. Welcoming you into the property is an open plan kitchen/breakfast room including an integrated dishwasher and fridge with a new induction hob and a ground floor shower room with a separate cloakroom. To the south of the accommodation is a dual-aspect sitting room with an inglenook fireplace featuring a log-burning stove with a door to gain access to the dual aspect and spacious dining room. A feature of the accommodation is the impressive, exposed framework, beams and timbers throughout.

The property's first floor features a good-sized principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, two further double bedrooms, one with limited access from the second bedroom or via a ladder stair from the kitchen, and a family bathroom.

The rear, south-westerly-facing garden has mature laurel on two sides and a tiled rendered wall on the third side, benefiting from an enclosed and private garden. A tiled patio creates an outdoor entertainment space, and a paved path leads to a double oak frame carport at the rear of the garden. Access from the garden is a utility room which houses the newly installed combi boiler.

Recently approved planning permission has been granted for an approximate 7 x 5 metres single storey extension to the side, replacing existing downstairs bathroom/utility. Plans are available through tvbc website
