*£300,000 - £325,000* A charming Grade II Listed two-bedroom period cottage, beautifully combining a wealth of character features with a range of contemporary improvements. Occupying an attractive position with far-reaching meadow views to the rear and a south-westerly facing garden, the property offers a delightful combination of character, comfort and low-maintenance outdoor space.

The property is approached via an entrance vestibule leading into a characterful sitting room, featuring exposed beams, a splendid floor-to-ceiling exposed red brick chimney breast, recessed shelving and an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a log-burning stove on an attractive brick hearth.

The kitchen/dining room provides an excellent blend of period charm and modern finishes, with exposed beams and an extensive range of fitted units complemented by thick quartz worktops.

A useful storage cupboard and staircase rise from the room, while an opening leads to the rear hall.

A useful utility cupboard provides additional storage, plumbing for a washing machine and houses the recently installed gas combination boiler.

Upstairs, the landing retains exposed beams and leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a light and attractive room with a pretty outlook over the street scene and benefits from a large built-in cupboard/wardrobe. Bedroom two enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding meadows and incorporates an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a useful shelved linen cupboard.

The bathroom has been finished to a high standard with attractive tiling and comprises a bath with separate shower over and folding screen, WC, wash hand basin with storage, heated towel rail and illuminated fitted mirror.

Outside, immediately to the rear is a low-maintenance stone and gravel terrace, providing an excellent seating and entertaining area directly adjoining the house.
