Ground floor
The front door opens into the dining room, the oldest part of the cottage, with engineered oak flooring, exposed ceiling beams and some exposed brickwork. A step leads up to the breakfast kitchen, fitted with cream units, Corian worktops, an undermounted sink, a five-burner range cooker and a breakfast bar with space for a table. A door opens to the garden, and another leads through to the garage. The snug has more exposed beams and an open fire on a tiled hearth. At the back, the panelled lounge opens into the conservatory, whose French doors lead to the garden patio.

First floor
A staircase from the kitchen leads to a landing with a double linen cupboard. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, two Velux windows and a Juliet balcony with French doors, and it has an en suite. A second double bedroom has built-in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom, a single, is currently a home office, and the family shower room could serve it as an en suite. A second staircase rises to a separate double bedroom with its own en suite, a Velux window and a storage cupboard. It is ideal for guests or an older teenager.

Outside
The enclosed garden is mainly lawn, edged with sleepers and bordered by established shrubs, and it is safe for children and pets. Two paved patios catch the sun at different points of the day, and a gated side entrance leads out to the front. A shed with power and light suits a workshop or office. The garage is accessed from the road and has a door into the kitchen. It is fully insulated and currently used as a workshop and utility room, with potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Ample on-street parking is available, and there is potential for off-street parking adjacent to the garage should someone require it.
